Vestas has finished turbine installation at Pattern Energy’s 3500MW SunZia array in the U.S. state of New Mexico.
The 3.5GW wind farm is the largest onshore wind farm in the U.S., and will provide power to some 320,000 households once connected.
Vestas supplied 242 V163-4.5MW machines for the array, which consists of some 916 turbines altogether across its two different patches.
The site also features 10 substations, and 674 GE Vernova 3.6-154 machines.
The project will now move to turbine commissioning and connection to the 885 km transmission line.
The array is located across Torrance, Lincoln, and San Miguel Counties in New Mexico.
