Vestas wins orders in Romania and GermanyDanish renewable energy producer Eurowind Energy has placed a 143MW order for Frumusita, Vector and Pecineaga Northeast wind parks, located in Romania. The contract includes the supply and installation of 23 V162-6.2MW wind turbines from the EnVentus platform. Vestas will also provide long-term service for the projects through a 20-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement.

Srdan Cenic, Vestas Mediterranean East general manager, said: “We are proud to partner with Eurowind Energy on this project, and we are grateful for their trust in us. This order demonstrates the strength of our local execution and service expertise, and our ability to deliver the latest wind technology in support of Romania’s energy transition.”

As Romania accelerates its energy transition through regulatory reforms, upcoming CfD auctions, and grid enhancements, Vestas continues to strengthen its presence in the market. With its Eastern Europe regional headquarters based in Bucharest, Vestas employs over 550 people across Romania, including a highly skilled team of service technicians supporting projects.

Since entering the Romanian market in 2009, Vestas has played a pivotal role in driving wind energy deployment across the country. With over 1.5GW of installed capacity and under-construction projects, Vestas is currently the leading OEM in Romania’s wind sector. The company also services more than 1.2GW, supported by a strong local infrastructure that includes five service hubs and a regional training centre.

Morten Gaarde, director for EPC at Eurowind Energy, said: “Romania is a core market for us, and we are happy to take the next step with this order. Frumusita, Vector and Pecineaga Northeast are very important projects for us and we look forward to building on our long-standing relationship with Vestas by realising the projects together.” Turbine delivery is planned for the second half of 2026, while commissioning is scheduled for second half of 2027.

Manwhile, Vestas has also secured an order from ENERTRAG for V172-7.2 WM wind turbines for two projects in Brandenburg, Germany, totalling 115MW. It is the largest order of V172-7.2MW turbines to date for Vestas. Led by strong momentum in Germany, Vestas’ +7MW wind turbines, consisting of the V162-7.2MW and V172-7.2MW, has surpassed 1GW of firm order intake in May 2025 with the first commercial installations of these wind turbines successfully completed.

Jens Kück, senior vice president at NCE sales onshore, said: “We are thrilled to have closed these two projects with ENERTRAG, one of Germany’s leading and most innovative project developers. Our partnership builds on a long-standing, trusted relationship and mirrors our strong strategic alignment and shared commitment to innovation.”

ENERTRAG CEO Dr Gunar Hering said: “With this order, we are realising two major wind projects in our home region of Brandenburg. Both projects will become part of the ENERTRAG Verbundkraftwerk, supporting our strategy for a secure and 100% renewable energy supply. Thanks to Vestas latest turbine technology, we can deliver more energy with fewer installations — strengthening regional supply and reducing land use. The projects will power around 85,000 households and cut over 200,000 tonnes of CO2 annually. Together with Vestas, we are advancing performance, innovation and local benefit.”

The agreement is for the supply, installation, and commissioning of 12 V172-7.2MW wind turbines for the 86MW Malchow Ost project, and four wind turbines of the same type for the 29MW Tantow 1 wind farm. Upon completion, Vestas will service the turbines under a 25-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement designed to ensure optimised performance of the assets. Turbine delivery is expected to begin in the first half of 2027 with commissioning scheduled for completion in the second half of 2027.
