Swedish operator Vattenfall has sold 88 wind turbines in Denmark to Green Power Partners for an undisclosed sum.
The turbines come from 19 wind farms on Jutland and have a total capacity of 65MW. Vattenfall says the sale comprises farms that do not fit its strategy to focus on larger wind power projects.
“The size of these wind farms does not match Vattenfall’s strategic direction, which is why we decided to sell them. We can now concentrate on further developing and strengthening our position in Denmark in the sector of large-scale onshore and offshore wind power,” says Martin Reinholdsson, Vice President of Vattenfall Generation.
Vattenfall has almost finished building Klim wind farm in Jutland. In this project 35 older turbines were replaced with 22 newer and more efficient turbines. Planning has started for the 400 MW Horns Rev 3 wind farm off the west coast of Jutland.
Vattenfall is also one of seven companies which are pre-qualified to bid for Kriegers Flak, Denmark’s largest offshore wind project with a capacity of 600MW. The tender process will end in November 2016.
