MHI Vestas to deliver turbines for 1,075 MW Seagreen 1 offshore wind project in the Firth of Forth
The Seagreen project, which will be Scotland’s single largest source of renewable energy when complete, has today finalized the firm order for 114 V164-10 MW turbines from MHI Vestas, to be installed off the coast of Fife in 2021. Seagreen will be built out to 1,075 MW capacity.
The contract will see MHI Vestas manufacture and install turbines at the 1,140 MW Seagreen site, its fourth project in Scotland. MHI Vestas has also signed a service and maintenance agreement at the project for a period of 15 years.
Seagreen will provide around 5,000 GWh annually of clean renewable energy, supplying the energy needs of around one million homes and saving around 1.6 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually.
The project is owned by SSE and Total.
