Vestas has received a firm order from North Kyle Wind Farm Ltd, part of
Brockwell Energy Ltd, for the North Kyle wind park in East Ayrshire, Scotland. The order consists of 49 V136-4.5MW wind turbines and includes supply, delivery, and commissioning of the turbines. Upon completion, Vestas will service the turbines under a 30-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement designed to ensure optimised performance of the assets.
Anna Schlasberg Wachtmeister, vice president sales for Northern and Central Europe at Vestas, said: “We are excited to partner up for the first time with Brockwell Energy to deliver one of the largest onshore projects in the UK as the market scales to achieve net zero. North Kyle is yet another order for the V136-4.5MW turbine and takes Vestas beyond 4GW under full scope service in the UK and Ireland.”
Paul Newman, commercial director at Brockwell Energy, added: “We look forward to continuing our positive collaboration with Vestas during the construction and long-term operational phase of the North Kyle project. Once constructed the project is expected to generate sufficient green energy to power 163,000 homes and will make a significant contribution to the UK’s ‘net zero’ target”.
Turbine delivery will begin in the second quarter of 2024 with commissioning scheduled for completion in the third quarter of 2025.
