Vestas to deliver turbines for 396 MW Onshore Wind farm in Australia
Vestas has secured a 396 MW contract from Tilt Renewables for Rye Park Wind Farm in New South Wales, Australia. As the second project in the Asia Pacific to feature the EnVentus platform, Vestas will supply and install 66 V162-6.2 MW wind turbines in 6.0 MW operating mode for the project.
Upon completion, Vestas will also deliver a 30-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement. This agreement will optimize energy production while also providing long-term business case certainty. Rye Park Wind Farm will be Vestas’ second largest project in Australia, and the largest wind farm in New South Wales.
The 396 MW wind farm will create an estimated 250 direct jobs during the construction phase. The project will have average annual energy production of 1,188GWh, equivalent to powering approximately 215,000 homes. It will offset 960,000 tonnes of CO2 per year.
Delivery of Vestas’ wind turbines is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2022, with commissioning to commence in the second quarter of 2023.
