Vestas preferred supplier for Spanish projects
GALACIA, SPAIN - Danish wind turbine manufacturer Vestas said it had been chosen the preferred supplier for wind projects with total capacity of 1,655 megawatts to be installed in Spain in 2012-14.
An order of that size would be significant for Vestas, the world's largest wind turbine maker, which has forecast its 2010 order intake will reach 8,000-9,000 MW, falling to 7,000-8,000 MW the year after.
Vestas Wind Systems A/S said in a statement its position as "preferred technology partner" was confirmed by the regional government of Galacia following a public tendering round.
More than 70 percent of the total tender capacity of 2,325 MW has been awarded to 20 bidding companies which had submitted proposals based exclusively on Vestas technology, Vestas said.
"Vestas will now continue the negotiations with the different companies, and the orders will be announced as they become firm and unconditional and moreover comply with Vestas' rules of disclosure," said Vestas, which forecast no growth in profit and revenue next year.

Physicists Just Achieved Conduction of Electricity at Close to The Speed of Light
LONDON - When it comes to data transfer and computing, the faster we can shift electrons and conduct electricity the better – and scientists have just been able to transport electrons at sub-femtosecond speeds (less than one quadrillionth of a second) in an experimental setup.
The trick is manipulating the electrons with light waves that are specially crafted and produced by an ultrafast laser. It might be a long while before this sort of setup makes it into your laptop, but the fact they pulled it off promises a significant step forward in terms of what we can expect from our…
