In our story dated September 20, 2023 and headlined "Vestas bags 126-MW wind turbine order for repowering project in Maine" please read the headline as "Vestas bags 126-MW wind turbine order for project in Maine" and the lead paragraph as "... for a project it seeks to realise in the US state of Maine." The order is not for a repowering project.

A corrected version follows:

US renewables developer Apex Clean Energy has ordered 126 MW of wind turbines from Denmark’s Vestas Wind Systems A/S (CPH:VWS) for a project it seeks to realise in the US state of Maine.

The Danish wind turbine maker said on Wednesday that the order asks for 30 units of the V150-4.2 MW turbines to be used for the Downeast Wind project owned by Apex Clean Energy.

The scope of the order includes the supply, delivery and commissioning of the turbines. Also part of the contract is a multi-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement.

Vestas expects to start delivering the turbines in the second quarter of 2024. Commissioning will be carried out in the fourth quarter of 2024, according to the current timeline.
