MHI Vestas has signed a firm order to supply turbines to Total and SSE Renewables for the 1075MW Seagreen wind farm off the east coast of Scotland.
The Danish-Japanese manufacturer will deliver 114 V164-10MW units to be installed off Fife in 2021.
A 15-year service and maintenance agreement has also been signed as part of the deal.
“We are very pleased to have secured the firm order for turbine supply at Seagreen, which is the largest project under development in Scotland,” said Henrik Jensen, MHI Vestas chief sales officer.
“We have been able to reach this milestone even during Covid-19, with major decisions being taken over videoconference.”
“The Seagreen contract will further secure the presence of MHI Vestas in the UK with service operations based in Scotland serving the project and blades supplied from the Isle of Wight blades manufacturing facility,” added Julian Brown, UK Country Manager the company.
“The project will be supported by our technician apprenticeship programme based in Scotland and provides further opportunities for development of the UK supply chain, delivering sustainable and high value jobs in offshore wind.”
