Vestas has finalised the installation of its flagship V236-15.0MW offshore turbine in the Port of Thyboron, north-west Denmark.
“Today, the turbine successfully produced its first kWh of power – a crucial step in our final verification campaign,” said the Danish manufacturer.
“We are ramping up serial production before starting the installation of the first offshore projects featuring the V236-15.0 MW turbine.”
The company had announced the order back in March and the deal also includes a 20-year AOM4000 service agreement.
Vestas has already installed the prototype of the turbine at the Osterild National test centre in Denmark and received firm orders for units for offshore projects in Germany, Poland, and the Netherlands, and will start installing the first turbines offshore from 2025.
