Eldepasco said in an earlier statement it has chosen Vestas' V112-3.0 MW turbines for the North Sea project, which will be operational by the end of 2013 and supply power for 250,000 households.

"Vestas can confirm that negotiations between Eldepasco and Vestas are ongoing, but Vestas has not yet received a firm and unconditional order for the project," Vestas said.
