Vestas has secured its largest order to date for its new 7+MW EnVentus-range turbine model.
Enertrag has ordered 115MW worth of Vestas’ new V172-7.2MW turbines (pictured) for two wind projects in Brandenberg, Germany.
Led by strong momentum in Germany, Vestas said its 7+MW wind turbines, consisting of the V162-7.2 MW and V172-7.2 MW, had surpassed 1GW of firm order intake in May 2025 with the first commercial installations of these wind turbines successfully completed.
Vestas’ senior vice president of NCE sales onshore Jens Kück said: “We’re thrilled to have closed these two projects with Enertrag, one of Germany’s leading and most innovative project developers.
“Our partnership with Enertrag builds on a long-standing, trusted relationship and mirrors our strong strategic alignment and shared commitment to innovation.”
The agreement is for the supply, installation, and commissioning of 12 V172-7.2MW turbines for the 86MW Malchow Ost project, and a further four turbines of the same model for the 29MW Tantow 1 wind farm.
Upon completion, Vestas will service the turbines under a 25-year Active Output Management 5000 service agreement designed to ensure optimised performance of the assets.
Enertrag chief executive Gunar Hering added: “With this order, we are realising two major wind projects in our home region of Brandenburg.
“Both projects will become part of the Enertrag Verbundkraftwerk, supporting our strategy for a secure and 100% renewable energy supply.
“Thanks to Vestas’ latest turbine technology, we can deliver more energy with fewer installations – strengthening regional supply and reducing land use.
“The projects will power around 85,000 households and cut over 200,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide annually. Together with Vestas, we are advancing performance, innovation and local benefit.”
Turbine delivery is expected to begin in the first half of 2027 with commissioning scheduled for completion in the second half of 2027.
