Vestas (
www.vestas.com) has won a 63MW order to install and commission 16 wind turbines for two projects in central Jutland, Denmark.
The order is from Eurowind Energy A/S, which is a leading developer and operator of sustainable-energy projects — and a key customer for Vestas in Denmark and Europe.
Developed in collaboration with local partner Vindteam, the St Soels project will comprise seven V126-3.45MW turbines (delivered in 3.6MW Power Optimised Mode), while the Veddum Kær project will feature nine V136-4.2MW turbines.
Because Eurowind Energy A/S has developed both projects as co-located wind-power and solar-power plants, the final energy output to the grid will be a hybrid mix.
Jens Rasmussen, CEO of Eurowind Energy A/S, said: “These two orders seal our long-standing collaboration with Vestas, and we look forward to strengthening this co-operation even further.
“These milestone projects will be hybrid to optimise grid capacities, and we are very proud to execute them in Denmark.”
Both projects will feature a VestasOnline Business SCADA solution, offering ‘real-time data insight’ from a diverse mix of data streams to enable more-accurate forecasting.
The system will provide reduced turbine down-time and optimised energy output. The contract also includes a 20-year service agreement.
