Vestas has landed an order to supply and install 11 V126-3.3MW turbines to VR Energieprojekte Dötlingen for a community wind farm in Lower Saxony, Germany.
The 36MW order includes a 20-year full scope service contract for the turbines, which will be delivered in Q2 and Q3 of 2016.
VR Energieprojekte Dötlingen managing director Hermann Raschen said: “This wind energy project is a good example of a community wind farm with local participation.
“We were convinced not only by the V126-3.3 MW’s technology and high performance, but by Vestas’ full-scope service agreement as well. We are confident that we chose the right long-term partner providing optimal service solutions for the entire life span of our turbines.”
Vestas central Europe president Nils de Baar said: “We are very pleased that VR Energieprojekte Dötlingen GmbH has chosen the V126-3.3 MW, one of our top performers for low-wind sites, for their wind power plant, and that they are combining it with a 20-year service agreement.
“This choice reflects the strong sense of partnership that has already developed between our two companies, and we look forward to working with VR Energieprojekte Dötlingen GmbH to help them achieve maximum return on their investment over the wind power plant’s lifetime”.
