Danish company Vestas will supply, install and maintain 46 V126-3.45 MW turbines for a 159 MW utility-scale onshore windfarm in Senegal. Vestas said the three-phase delivery of the turbines is set to begin in Q2 or Q3 next year, with commissioning anticipated between Q4 2019 and early 2020. The wind farm, which was approved by Senegal’s government last year after an environmental impact assessment (EIA) process, has been designed to be able to generate up to 100 TWh per year.

Vestas said the three-phase delivery of the turbines is set to begin in Q2 or Q3 next year, with commissioning anticipated between Q4 2019 and early 2020. When operational, the windfarm should boost Senegal's power generation capacity by 15% and make up 20% of the country’s energy mix.
