Vestas has confirmed that is has received a firm order from North Kyle Wind Farm Limited, part of Brockwell Energy Limited, for the 220MW North Kyle wind park in East Ayrshire, Scotland.
As first reported in the subscriber-only edition of reNEWS in February, the order consists of 49 V136-4.5 MW wind turbines and includes supply, delivery, and commissioning of the machines.
Vestas will service the hardware under a 30-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement designed to ensure optimised performance of the assets.
Vice president sales for Northern and Central Europe at Vestas Anna Schlasberg Wachtmeister said: “We are excited to partner up for the first time with Brockwell Energy to deliver one of the largest onshore projects in the UK as the market scales to achieve net zero.
“North Kyle is yet another order for the V136-4.5 MW turbine and takes Vestas beyond 4GW under full scope service in the UK and Ireland.”
Brockwell Energy commercial director Paul Newmanadded: “We are delighted to be partnering with Vestas on Brockwell’s flagship North Kyle project.
“We look forward to continuing our positive collaboration with Vestas during the construction and long-term operational phase of the project.
“Once constructed the project is expected to generate sufficient green energy to power 163,000 homes and will make a significant contribution to the UK’s net zero target.”
Turbine delivery will begin in the second quarter of 2024 with commissioning scheduled for completion in the third quarter of 2025.
