"We would like to thank GS E&R for their trust in our proven solutions and we are pleased to partner with them on the YD1 project. We remain committed to contribute to the decarbonisation target of South Korea as well as the whole Asia Pacific region, through our industry-leading wind energy solutions and strong partnership with our customers." said Purvin Patel, Vestas Asia Pacific President.
Delivery of the turbines will begin in first quarter of 2025, with commissioning scheduled for 2026.

The addition of YD1 project will further bolster our presence and expedite our contributions to the country's climate initiatives.
