UPDATE 1-Vestas wins 75 MW wind turbine orders in China
* Vestas gets China orders for 75 MW of turbines
* Says new orders do not affect 2009 results outlook
COPENHAGEN, July 10 (Reuters) - Danish wind turbine maker Vestas (VWS.CO) said on Friday it had won two new orders from China for wind turbines with a total capacity of 75 megawatts.
The first order is for 13 units for a project in Shandong province and the second for 25 units for a wind development in Guangdong province, Vestas Wind Systems A/S said in a statement.
"The above orders do not affect Vestas Group's expectations for 2009," the company said. It did not disclose the value of the orders.
The company's volume of announced orders so far this year remains well below last year's level as the global economic downturn has hit wind power projects.
The contracts include delivery, installation and commissioning of the wind turbines and a two-year service and maintenance agreement, Vestas said.
"At the customer's request, details about the projects' ownership cannot be disclosed, it said. (Reporting by John Acher, editing by Will Waterman)
