Vestas has secured a firm order to supply turbines for RWE’s Vanguard East offshore wind project in the United Kingdom.
Vestas said the 1.38GW order covers the supply, delivery and commissioning of 92 V236-15.0MW turbines for the project.
The company added it will service the turbines under a five-year comprehensive service agreement followed by a long-term operational support agreement.
Vanguard East follows the confirmation of a firm turbine order for the Vanguard West offshore wind project last month.
The project site is located off the coast of Norfolk in East Anglia.
RWE is targeting a final investment decision for Vanguard East in summer 2026.
Deliveries are expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2028 with commissioning planned in 2030.
“RWE continues to make good progress towards realising both of these major offshore wind projects in the UK with the support of Vestas, our partners KKR and a strong supply chain,” said Sven Utermöhlen, chief executive of RWE Offshore Wind.
“We are on track to make a final investment decision for both projects this summer, with preparations for the major offshore construction campaign following on.”
“We are delighted to report a firm order for Vanguard East, on the heel of Vanguard West last month,” stated Nils de Baar, president of Vestas Northern & Central Europe and Global Offshore.
“The Vanguard projects underscore how collaboration and long-term industry commitment will deliver reliable, clean, and affordable electricity for consumers while strengthening the UK’s long-term energy resilience.”
