Vestas has received a 70MW order from Tessa Green Energy to supply 11 EnVentus V162-6.4MW wind turbines for the Strazhitsa wind project in Bulgaria. This wind farm represents a significant milestone for the revival of Bulgaria’s wind energy sector, as in early 2026 wind energy has played an important role in turning the country from a net importer to a net exporter of electricity, ‘increasing its energy independence and reducing its exposure to volatile energy prices’.
Vestas has played a pivotal role in driving wind energy deployment across Bulgaria since entering the market in 2007. With more than 360MW of installed capacity, Vestas holds a leading market position in the country and operates a well-established and experienced service organisation, providing operations and maintenance services in Bulgaria and across Eastern Europe. Deliveries are expected to begin in the first quarter of 2027, with commissioning planned for the second and third quarters of 2027.
Srdan Cenic, Vestas’s general manager and VP sales (Southeast Europe and Central Asia), said: “We are proud that Tessa Green Energy has trusted us for the Strazhitsa project in Bulgaria. Having a new project after a long pause in the Bulgarian market is very meaningful for Vestas, and we hope it will help spark a new era for wind energy in the country.”
Vestas designs, manufactures, installs, and services onshore and offshore wind turbines across the globe; and with more than 201GW of wind turbines in 88 countries, it has installed more wind power than any other company.
