Vestas recently received a 67MW order from
Red Rock Power Ltd for the Benbrack wind farm located in Dumfries and Galloway in Southwest Scotland. The order includes the supply, installation, and commissioning of 13 V136-4.5MW turbines and two V117-4.2MW turbines (in 4.3MW operating mode). Vestas will also service the turbines under a long-term service agreement.
Juan Furones, vice president for Vestas sales (North and West), said: “We are very pleased to have been selected by Red Rock Power to supply our onshore solutions for its Benbrack wind farm as it highlights the importance of onshore wind to the UK energy security strategy. This project, once again, shows the applicability of the recently upgraded V136-4.5MW wind turbine, and the V117-4.2MW wind turbine to the Scottish climatic conditions.”
Jamie Grant, Benbrack’s project director, added: “We look forward to working with Vestas on Benbrack and are pleased to have completed an agreement before early onsite works commence in August. Vestas’s commitment to innovate and continually improve efficiency was a key driver and aligns with our long-term goals to maximise generation and asset value once in operation.”
Deliveries and installation of the wind turbines are expected to begin in early 2024, while commissioning is expected to complete by the middle of the same year.
