Vestas has received a 21MW order from Energieprojekte Eichsfeld for the repowering of the Reinholterode wind farm in central Germany.
The Danish manufacturer will replace the existing four 1.5MW turbines with six V126-3.45MW machines which will triple the installed capacity, according to the company.
The deal with the new Vestas customer includes the supply and commissioning of the turbines and a full-scope service agreement for 20 years.
Delivery and commissioning are expected to begin next summer.
Energieprojekte Eichsfeld managing director Gerhard Ropeter said:”We selected Vestas as the supplier of choice as they are able to support us not only in supplying the wind turbines, but to take on work along the entire repowering project, including project planning, civil and electrical infrastructure as well the decommissioning of the repowered turbines.”
