Vestas has received an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) order for two wind projects in Finland totalling 161MW.
Vestas will build Neoen and Prokon’s jointly-owned Lumivaara and Storbötet wind farms which will host its 6MW turbines.
The order for the 105MW Storbötet project in the municipality of Uusikaarlepyy consists of 17 V162-6.2MW machines, while the order for the 56MW Lumivaara site in the municipality of Hyrynsalmi hosts nine V162-6.2MW units.
Turbine delivery for both developments will begin in the early third quarter of 2024 and both wind farms are scheduled to be fully operational in 2025.
Vestas will service the turbines at both facilities for 20 years.
“Vestas and Neoen have a strong history of successful project deliveries in Finland, and we are excited to continuing the partnership with this new order,” said Vestas vice president sales for Northern and Central Europe Anna Schlasberg Wachtmeister.
“This order also underlines the versatility of Vestas’ EnVentus platform and its ability to provide our customers with business case certainty in different sites,” she added.
Managing director of Neoen Finland Jerri Loikkanen said: “It’s a great pleasure to be working with Vestas once again. This co-operation is a natural continuation after the successful delivery of Mutkalampi wind farm (404MW).
“Neoen has the ambition to become the leader in renewable energy in Finland and the support of trusted industrial partners is essential to accelerate our development.”
