Vestas has received a 50MW order from Energiepark Bad Lauchstädt to power the Bad Lauchstädt TerraWatt project in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany.
The order includes supply, installation, and commissioning of eight V162-6.2MW turbines at a hub height of 169 metres.
It also covers a 25-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement designed to ensure optimised performance of the asset.
Energiepark Bad Lauchstädt will use the wind energy to produce green hydrogen at an industrial scale, thanks to a large electrolysis plant of up to 30MW close to the project site.
Falk Zeuner, managing director TerraWatt, said: “As an international developer of sustainable energy projects, we are proud to add this 50MW wind farm to our portfolio.
“Only around 35km from our headquarter in Leipzig we are in the process of developing a blueprint for a future energy system based on renewable energy generation.”
“We are thrilled to deliver our wind turbines to Energiepark Bad Lauchstädt,” added Jens Kück, vice president sales for Northern and Central Europe at Vestas.
“The industry-leading V162-6.2 MW EnVentus unit is the perfect match for this project and will help to accelerate the energy transition in Germany.”
The delivery and installation of the wind turbines is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2024 with commissioning scheduled for the second quarter of 2024.
