Vestas Secures 328 MW Wind Turbine Order in Norway

Utilising the 4 MW platform’s flexibility, the turbines will ensure a high capacity factor and maximise energy production in a tailormade configuration.

Vestas has secured an order for several wind projects in Norway totaling a capacity of 328 MW that will feature different 4 MW platform turbine variants from Vestas’ product portfolio.

Utilising the 4 MW platform’s flexibility, the turbines will ensure a high capacity factor and maximise energy production in a tailormade configuration based on the sites’ specific wind conditions.

“The order affirms the competitiveness of Vestas’ wind power solutions and that wind power provides an attractive long-term energy investment that goes well beyond its climate and sustainability benefits”, says Nils de Baar, President North at Vestas North and Central Europe.

He further added that, “We are very proud that our innovative technology will be able to create maximum value for our customer”.

The wind projects will feature a VestasOnline Business SCADA solution lowering turbine downtime to optimize the energy output. The contract further includes supply, installation and commissioning of the wind turbines, as well as a 5-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement. Turbine installation is expected to start in 2020 and 2021.

Vestas is the energy industry’s global partner on sustainable energy solutions. Vestas designs, manufacture, install, and service wind turbines across the globe, and with 97 GW of wind turbines in 79 countries, we have installed more wind power than anyone else.
