Vestas, in consortium with Leighton Contractors will jointly install the Macarthur Wind Farm. The contract comprises a full engineering, procurement and construction contract (EPC), a ten-year service agreement and a VestasOnline® Business SCADA solution. The first turbines are expected on site during Q3 2011 with the whole project expected fully installed by the first half of 2013.
