Vestas has announced that it has received an order from Eolus Vind AB for the Bäckhammar project located in the municipalities of Kristinehamn and Degerfors in Sweden.
Utilising Vestas’ product portfolio’s versatility, the project combines 22 V136-4.2 MW turbines and nine V150-4.2 MW turbines to optimise performance and lower the cost of energy for the site’s specific wind conditions. The order is first in Sweden featuring the V150-4.2 MW turbines.
The contract includes supply, installation and commissioning of the wind turbines, as well as a 15-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement. The project will feature VestasOnline® Business SCADA solution to lower turbine downtime and optimise the energy output.
Deliveries and project completion are scheduled for 2020.
With the Bäckhammar project, Eolus and Vestas have collaborated on projects amounting to almost 900 MW in Sweden, while Vestas has installed more than 3.3 GW of wind turbines in the country in total.
