Vestas has been awarded a 28 MW repowering order from ecoJoule construct GmbH for the wind project Brest, located in Lower-Saxony in northern Germany. Five V150-5.6 MW turbines from the EnVentus platform, with concrete hybrid towers with a hub height of 166m, will replace the currently installed turbines to maximise the annual energy production.
The repowering doubles the project’s capacity so that it will generate enough electricity to power the entire Brest municipality and in addition about a quarter of the local households in the Stade district.
The project will feature a VestasOnline® Business SCADA solution, lowering turbine downtime and thus optimizing the energy output. The contract further includes supply, installation, and commissioning of the wind turbines, as well as a 20-years Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement.
Deliveries are expected to begin in the second quarter of 2021, while commissioning is planned for the third quarter of 2021.
