Vestas has secured a contract to supply turbines to a 36MW repowering effort in Denmark.
Local developer Wind Estate has ordered 10 V126-3.45MW machines to be delivered in 3.6MW power optimised mode for its Overgaard 2 project, Vestas said.
The deal includes supply, installation and commissioning of the turbines and comes with a 10-year Active Output Management 5000 service agreement.
The new Vestas units will more than double the wind park’s energy production by replacing the current site’s eight 2MW NEG Micon hardware.
Deliveries are expected to begin in the third quarter of 2021, while commissioning is planned for the fourth quarter of 2021.
“Wind Estate is pleased to place another order at Vestas, consolidating the long-term corporation between the companies,” said Wind Estate chief executive Erik Abraham.
“We are excited about the opportunity to build ten wind turbines in phase two at the Overgaard project, which – when all phases are built – will constitute the largest onshore wind farm in Denmark.”
The order comes just months after Vestas announced the order for the final phase of the neighbouring 94MW Overgaard 1 wind project.
“This order underlines the great potential in repowering older onshore turbines with new and efficient technology and how these projects can be key for Denmark to reach its ambitious target to cut emission 70% by 2030,” said Vestas president of North and Central Europe Nils de Baar.
