Danish group Vestas, the world's biggest maker of wind turbines, said it had won a 50.4 megawatts turbine order for a project in New Mexico in the United States.

The order from Element Powers was for 28 units of its V100-1.8 MW megawatt turbine, and was the first stage of a 99 megawatts project, Vestas said.

The contract includes delivery and commissioning along with a 10-year turbine service and maintenance agreement, it said.

Delivery is scheduled for early 2011, and Element Power has an option to purchase an additional 27 turbines of the V100-1.8 MW type for the second phase of the project, it said.
