FairWind has secured an eight-figure contract from a major wind turbine manufacturer to deliver installation, mechanical and electrical services for a large onshore wind farm in Australia.
The company said it will handle lifting and installation of main components across 50 turbines, including towers, nacelles, drivetrains, hubs and blades.
It added that electrical routing will be completed alongside integration of gearbox, braking, hydraulic and lubrication systems.
The deal builds on FairWind’s installation of more than 100 turbines for the same manufacturer on a previous project, according to the company.
An additional 37 roles have been hired to support the work, which is scheduled for completion by the first quarter of 2026.
FairWind said 50 specialist technicians are already on site, supported by a new project manager based in Melbourne.
Rasmus Jessen, chief operating officer for installation at FairWind, said: “Australia is a driving force in the global energy transition and large-scale projects like this are vital in strengthening the country’s energy security and delivering clean, affordable power.
“This latest project win not only reflects the trust placed in our capabilities, but also gives us a strong foundation to continue supporting the full wind turbine lifecycle, from installation through to long-term operations.”
He added that ensuring long-term performance, availability and safety of turbines is increasingly critical as more wind farms come online across Australia.
Jessen said effective maintenance, repair and optimisation are as important as installation, and highlighted FairWind’s technical expertise, skilled teams and local presence.
FairWind, founded in 2008 and headquartered in Vejle, Denmark, has more than 2200 technicians operating in over 40 countries.
