MHI Vestas has been selected as preferred turbine supplier for the 950MW Moray 1 offshore wind farm in the Outer Moray Firth off the east coast of Scotland.
The deal, which was first reported by reNEWS on Friday, will include the supply and installation of 100 V164-9.5MW turbines.
Moray 1 project director Oscar Diaz said: “Co-operation with MHI Vestas to couple the latest turbine technology with advances in engineering and project deployment has enabled the achievement of major reductions in the cost of offshore wind.”
Moray 1 is a joint development between EDP Renewables (77%) and Engie (23%) and was recently awarded a Contract for Difference at £57.50 in the UK’s second auction round.
