Vestas has received its first firm order for the latest addition to its EnVentus platform for a 43MW wind project in Germany.
The order for the V172-7.2MW turbine was placed by developer Uhl Windkraft.
Vestas will supply six of the turbines for the Hoßkirch wind project, being developed in cooperation with the Comital House of Koenigsegg-Aulendorf.
Hardware delivery will begin in the second quarter of 2025 with commissioning scheduled for completion in the third quarter of 2025.
The order includes supply, delivery, and commissioning of the turbines.
Upon completion, Vestas will service the machines under a 25-year agreement.
“We are very pleased to announce the first V172-7.2MW order for Vestas which marks the next milestone for our modular platform architecture,” said senior vice president sales onshore for Northern and Central Europe at Vestas Jens Kück.
“Our thanks go to Uhl Windkraft and the Comital House of Koenigsegg-Aulendorf for the trust in us and our technology.
The V172-7.2MW offers a great business case, especially in a low-wind environment such as in Baden-Württemberg and is an important contribution to Germany’s energy transition.”
The turbine is designed for optimised energy production in low to medium average wind conditions.
