Vestas will supply EnVentus turbines to the Keso and Kaukanen projects in the Northern Ostrobothnia region in Finland, both being developed by longtime partner Puhuri Oy.
The two orders will cover a total volume of 90MW.
After the Parha and Hankila orders in 2019, the deal represents the third and fourth Puhuri Oy projects that will be supplied with Vestas’ EnVentus turbines.
Keso will see seven EnVentus V162-6-0 MW turbines installed in Haapavesi municipality and eight EnVentus V162-6.0MW turbines will power the Kaukanen project, which will be situated in the Kannus municipality.
The turbines will be serviced through a 25-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement, providing power performance certainty and Vestas’ industry-leading service expertise throughout the lifetime of the project.
Vestas Northern & Central Europe’s vice president for sales North & West Juan Furones said: “The global applicability of our EnVentus platform is shown yet again by the selection for turbine supply at the Keso and Kaukanen projects.
“We’re proud to be working with our partners Puhuri Oy on these two new projects, which will utilise the EnVentus modular platform design for optimal power production.
“Both projects are being built on a merchant basis, highlighting the business case certainty Vestas’ EnVentus platform provides to wind project developers around the world.”
Puhuri Oy managing director Antti Vilkuna said: “It is a pleasure to continue the good partnership with Vestas in Keso and Kaukanen projects.
“Puhuri and its owners foresee a decade of strong growth in Finnish wind power sector.
“Successful transition to carbon free power generation requires a lot of wind among other carbon neutral power sources and solutions.”
Turbine delivery to the sites will begin in the third quarter of 2022, with commissioning of both projects expected for completion by the end of the following quarter.
Vestas has also secured a 42MW order with Toko Electrical Construction for the Miyagi Kami Wind Farm in Miyagi prefecture, Japan.
Owned by Japan Renewable Energy Corporation, the wind project will feature ten V117-4.0MW turbines in 4.2MW operating mode with 94-metre towers.
Vestas will service the turbines under a 20-years Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreements for the wind farm, providing an energy-based availability guarantee to ensure optimised performance and long-term business case certainty for the customer.
Delivery of Vestas’ turbines will begin in the first quarter of 2023, with commissioning scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2023.
