54,96 -0,18 (-0,33%)

AARHUS (AFN/BLOOMBERG) - Windmolenmaker Vestas kampt naar eigen zeggen met stevige concurrentie in de sector. Dat zorgde er in de eerste maanden van het jaar voor dat de omzet lager uitviel dan een jaar eerder. Ook de winstgevendheid van het Deense bedrijf verslechterde. Evengoed hield Vestas vast aan zijn verwachtingen voor heel 2018.

De windmolenproducent zette in het afgelopen kwartaal een omzet in de boeken van 1,7 miljard euro, tegenover 1,9 miljard een jaar eerder. De winst daalde van 160 naar 102 miljoen euro. Vestas gaf aan dat door de concurrentie opbrengsten onder druk staan, onder meer door de scherpe aanbestedingsprocedures vanuit overheden. De resultaten waren ook slechter dan kenners in doorsnee van uitgingen.

Op de langere termijn is Vestas positief gestemd over de ontwikkelingen in de markt. De opkomst van windenergie zet prijzen voor elektriciteit aanhoudend onder druk. Daarnaast is er steeds meer het besef dat de toekomst van energie-opwekking duurzaam moet zijn.

Voor heel 2018 verwacht Vestas een omzet tussen de 10 miljard tot 11 miljard euro. De brutowinstmarge zal daarbij uitkomen tussen de 9 en 11 procent.

Vestas receives 306 MW order for the Mesa la Paz wind park

EnerAB, a joint venture between The AES Corporation and Grupo BAL, has placed a 306 MW order with Vestas for the Mesa la Paz wind park that derives from a corporate power purchase agreement. In recent years, Vestas has increased its manufacturing footprint and commercial offering in Mexico to provide full value chain solutions, which has resulted in orders across different project types, including auctions and PPAs.

The order includes the supply and installation of 85 V136-3.45 MW turbines, delivered in 3.6 MW Power Optimised Mode, as well as a 15-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement for the operation and maintenance of the wind park located in the state of Tamaulipas.

Mr Enric Català, Senior Director Sales LATAM, Vestas said that “Vestas continues its strategic focus on the Mexican market by increasing both its manufacturing footprint and installed capacity, which support Mexico’s development and create jobs. With more than 1.3 GW of turbines either under construction or installed in Tamaulipas alone, Mexico has evolved into a strong example for other countries in Latin America for creating a more sustainable energy mix.”

Mr Juan Ignacio Rubiolo, CEO of EnerAB said that “EnerAB is committed to providing safe, reliable and sustainable energy solutions to our customers. We recently won a 25-year PPA for the 306 MW Mesa La Paz wind facility. It’s the first renewable PPA above 300 MW in Mexico financed entirely through a US-held private company. We choose Vestas as a provider based on our shared strategic focus on the Mexican market and its long-term potential to contribute to a greener energy future. Through EnerAB, Grupo Bal and AES aim to help Mexico reach its goal of generating 35 percent of its electricity through renewable sources by 2024.”

Like most energy markets across the globe, Mexico is transitioning towards large-scale tenders and auctions, but corporate power purchase agreements (PPA) continue to originate large-scale projects outside of the auction systems. Underscoring this development, Bloomberg New Energy Finance estimates that corporate PPAs in Mexico totalled 5.4 GW in 2017 with the number expected to grow in 2018.

By the end of 2017, Vestas had installed more than 4 GW in Latin America and announced plans to establish production facilities in Mexico together with its partners that will serve 4 MW platform blades to all of Latin America. With today’s contract, Vestas’ order intake in Mexico has reached more than 2.1 GW, including the Reynosa III wind park, which will be Mexico’s largest.

MHI Vestas gets Final Certification for V164-9.5 MW Offshore Wind Turbine

The world’s most powerful commercially available wind turbine receives S class type certificate, clearing the way for installations to begin in late 2019. MHI Vestas Offshore Wind is celebrating yet another milestone for its flagship V164 turbine platform as the 9.5 MW model has received its Rotor-Nacelle-Assembly Component Certificate.

MHI Vestas Chief Technology Officer, Mr Torben Larsen said that “This is the culmination of years of hard work and is something we are extremely proud of. The type certificate provides our customers with the certainty and assurance that the 9.5 MW turbine will deliver on its promise.”

The final certification was received one year after MHI Vestas announced the 9.5 MW turbine to the market, moving the industry one step closer to double-digit MW turbines in the water.

Head of Product Management, Henrik Baek Jorgensen, said, “Announcing the world’s most powerful turbine and then receiving final certification one year later is no small achievement. This is a very important chapter in the growing legacy of the V164.”

The announcement speaks to the industry’s need for cost-effective power upgrades. Since the V164 was launched, MHI Vestas has uprated nominal power from 8.0 MW to 9.0 MW, and now to 9.5 MW – all with minimal design modifications.

Senior Product Manager, Anders Bach Andersen, said, “From the very beginning, we designed the V164 with reliability and cost-efficiency in mind. We’ve managed to increase power output 20% without materially affecting cost. For today’s offshore wind customers, it’s more critical than ever that nominal power can substantively increase without a major re-design of the turbine platform.”

The news of the final certification comes on the heels of several turbine announcements made by MHI Vestas recently, including the launch of the MVOW SMART Turbine® product portfolio – a suite of four advanced technology solutions aiming to optimise a customer’s business case during design, operations and maintenance.

53,18 -0,62 (-1,15%)

AARHUS (AFN/BLOOMBERG) - Windmolenmaker Vestas is iets voorzichtiger geworden over zijn verwachtingen voor het hele jaar. Het Deense bedrijf voorziet tegenwind voor de markt door de wereldwijde handelsoorlog.

Marktleider Vestas kan maar moeilijk profiteren van de aantrekkende markt voor windmolens. Dat komt naast handelsbelemmeringen ook door fikse concurrentie. Het bedrijf rekent nu op een omzet van 10 miljard tot 10,5 miljard euro, waar eerder werd gerekend op 10 miljard tot 11 miljard euro. Ook de winstmarge is naar beneden bijgesteld.

De omzet in het tweede kwartaal steeg licht tot bijna 2,3 miljard euro. De nettowinst zakte van 186 miljoen tot 184 miljoen euro.

Vestas intends to cease production in Spain

To sustain its competitiveness in the growing global market for wind energy, Vestas continuously introduces new products and optimises its global footprint to meet market demand across regions. By doing so, Vestas aims to ensure a competitive product portfolio, economies of scale and continuous optimisation of manufacturing, transportation, and sourcing costs. Recent market developments have seen a decreasing demand for the 2 MW wind turbine platform in Europe, while the demand for the 4 MW platform in the region can be met by less capacity than currently provided by nacelles factories in Europe and other regions where Vestas recently has established production capacity.

Responding to these market developments and to sustain its competitiveness, Vestas intends to cease production at its assembly factory in León, Spain, affecting all of the factory’s 362 employees. The employees have been informed about the intention to cease production through the local works council and will also receive a letter from Vestas with information on the situation and contact details for further information.

As per Spanish law, Vestas will now initiate negotiations with local works councils for all affected employees. Vestas is exploring opportunities to relocate employees from León to other Vestas manufacturing and service sites in Spain, as well as opportunities outside of Vestas through an outplacement plan. The negotiations are expected to be finalised within 30 days from commencement, as prescribed by Spanish law.

Spain remains a key market to Vestas with more than 4 GW of installed turbines, 6 GW under service and around 2,000 employees as of 30 June 2018. Vestas continues to have a strong local footprint to serve Spanish and international markets, including a generator factory in Viviero and a blades factory in Daimiel where Vestas is investing to set up production of blades for the V150-4.2 MW turbine. Additionally, Vestas also has Service hubs and warehouses, its Mediterranean headquarters in Madrid and a strong local supply chain in Spain.

The financial cost of ceasing production at the assembly factory in Leon will mainly relate to write down of land and buildings. These costs will be booked as special items and will be included in third quarter of 2018.
