Vestas has secured an 80MW turbine order for the Kroningswind wind farm in the Netherlands.
Kroningswind, which is located on Goeree-Overflakkee in the south-west of the country, is majority-owned by the Euronext listed infrastructure investor Tinc.
Vestas will supply, install and commission 19 V117-4.2MW machines and provide a 25-year active output management 5000 service agreement.
The wind farm will also feature a VestasOnline Business SCADA solution, lowering turbine downtime and thus optimising the energy output.
Vestas Northern & Central Europe president Nils de Baar said: “I’m excited that we have signed this agreement with wind farm Kroningswind and look forward to contribute in achieving the best possible return in wind power production.
“Generating enough wind power to supply more than 60,000 Dutch households annually, the project marks a significant step for the renewable power supply of the region and emphasises our contribution to the country’s ambitions for sustainable energy.”
Tinc chief investment officer Chrisbert Van Kooten said: “We are confident to have selected in Vestas an experienced and reliable partner for the realisation of Windfarm Kroningswind.
“For Tinc as a long-term investor, innovative solutions, strict planning and long-term operational and financial commitment to the project were key elements in the selection of Vestas.
“We now look forward to the realisation and the first day of power production.”
