Vestas has won a 63MW order to supply, install and commission 16 turbines for two wind projects in Denmark.
Eurowind Energy placed the order for St. Soels and Veddum Kaer, both situated in central Jutland.
Each wind farm is being developed with a solar photovoltaic installation to provide a hybrid mix of clean electricity when operational.
Turbine deliveries are expected to begin end of 2020 for the St. Soels wind farm and in the second quarter of 2021 for the Veddum Kaer facility.
St. Soels will be commissioned in the first quarter 2021 and Veddum Kaer in the third quarter of next year. Vestas will service the wind farms for 20 years.
Eurowind chief executive Jens Rasmussen said: “These two orders seal our longstanding collaboration with Vestas, and we look forward to strengthening this cooperation even further.
“Both projects will be hybrid projects with integrated wind and solar power plants to optimise grid capacities, and we are very proud to execute these milestone projects in Denmark.”
St. Soels will comprise seven V126-3.45 MW turbines delivered in 3.6MW power optimised mode.
Veddum Kaer, developed in collaboration by Eurowind and local partner Vindteam, will feature nine V136-4.2 MW turbines.
With the 63MW order Vestas has secured the total 135MW wind volume of the second technology-neutral auction in Denmark in 2019.
“The 4 MW platform from Vestas has with our experience shown to be a very reliable turbine technology, and we believe that these turbine types are the perfect match for St. Soels and Veddum Kaer,” added Rasmussen.
Vestas Northern and Central Europe president Nils de Baar said: “Our ability to deliver tailormade solutions that achieve maximum return on our customer’s investment and ensure the lowest cost of energy to the Danish energy consumers has been key in securing this auction win in our home market.
“This 100% auction success underlines onshore wind’s competitiveness and stresses the continued importance of Vestas’ home market in Denmark. We are proud to be our customers’ preferred partner and look forward to execute these projects and take part of the sustainable energy transition in Denmark”.
