Vestas secures 36 MW wind project order in Scotland

Vestas has secured a 36 MW order for the second phase of the Sandy Knowe wind project in Scotland from ERG, one of the leading wind energy operators in the European market.

The project will consist of ten V112-3.45 MW wind turbines in a 3.6 MW operating mode. In November 2020, Vestas was awarded the contract for the 50 MW first phase of the project from the same customer. The twin projects will be located in the area of Dumfries & Galloway Council in South-West Scotland.

The contract includes supply, installation, and commissioning of the wind turbines, as well as a long-term Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement. The project will also feature a VestasOnline® Business SCADA solution, lowering turbine downtime and thus optimizing the energy output.

Turbine deliveries are expected to begin in the third quarter of 2022.
