Vestas, a Danish manufacturer of sustainable energy solutions, has received an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) order for two wind projects totalling 161MW to build
Neoen’s and
Prokon’s jointly owned Lumivaara and Storbötet wind farms in Finland.
An order for the 105MW Storbötet project in Uusikaarlepyy consists of 17 V162-6.2MW wind turbines, while the second order for the 56MW Lumivaara project in Hyrynsalmi consists of nine V162-6.2MW wind turbines. Vestas will service the turbines under a 20-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement designed to ensure optimised performance of the asset.
Anna Schlasberg Wachtmeister, Vestas’ vice president sales for Northern and Central Europe, said: “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. This order also underlines the versatility of Vestas’ EnVentus platform and its ability to provide our customers with business case certainty at different sites.”
Jerri Loikkanen, Neoen Finland managing director, said: “It is 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.”
Turbine delivery for both projects will begin in the early third quarter of 2024 and both wind farms are scheduled to be fully operational in 2025.
