Vestas is to supply six V136-3.45MW turbines for ABO Wind’s 20.7MW Arzfeld project in south-west Germany.
The deal is the first for the Danish manufacturer from the fourth German onshore wind auction, which was concluded in February.
“The fast translation from auction results into order intake is the result of the close collaboration between Vestas and ABO Wind,” said the company.
It added interaction included application of the Vestas value engineering approach to all project phases, from siting support to transport and construction, which optimises chances for auction success.
The project is part of a broader framework contract between ABO and Vestas and includes a 20-year service agreement. Turbine delivery is expected in the fourth quarter of 2018.
