Danish wind turbine manufacturer Vestas won orders from Poland and Germany for turbines with total capacity of 240 megawatts, the company said.

An order for 70 units of Vestas' V90-2.0 MW turbines for a wind power project in Poland was placed by Germany's Prokon Energiesysteme GmbH, Vestas Wind Systems A/S said in a statement.

"Delivery of the turbines is scheduled to start in late 2011, with completion estimated for late 2012," Vestas said of the Poland order. "Twenty-five of the turbines will be installed in 2011."

The contract includes supply, installation and commissioning of the turbines and an online control system, Vestas said.

The order for a project in Hessen in Germany is for 12 Vestas' V112-3.0 MW turbines and 32 of its V90-2.0 MW turbines, Vestas said.

Delivery of those 44 units is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2011, it said.
