Active Output Management is a service framework developed by Vestas to ensure wind turbine complexes generate the maximum energy output with the lowest costs. The Service Agreement includes a tailored operation and maintenance strategy for each asset. 

Laura Beane, President of Vestas North America, expressed her enthusiasm for collaborating once more with Capital Power to expand their wind energy portfolios in Canada.

She highlighted the inclusion of industry-leading onshore wind turbines within this partnership. Beane also emphasized the compatibility of the 4 MW platform with Alberta’s wind conditions, and the company’s dedicated service operations to ensure the project operate at maximum efficiency.

Steve Owens, Senior Vice President of Construction and Engineering at Capital Power, echoed the excitement about partnering with Vestas once again, particularly for the supply of wind turbine technology for the Halkirk II Wind project.

Owens emphasized that the utilization of V150-4.5 MW wind turbines will play a pivotal role in materializing the Halkirk II Wind project, aligning with Capital Power’s commitment to drive a sustainable future for both people and the planet.

The project is regarded as a crucial component of their comprehensive approach toward achieving net zero by 2045.
