Vestas has received a 38 MW order from the utility Finnmark Kraft AS for the repowering of Havøygavlen Wind Park on the island of Havøy in northern Norway.
The Havøygavlen Wind Park is located deep inside the arctic circle, with extreme climate conditions, featuring nine V117-4.2 MW Typhoon variant turbines, with customized design to cope with the average wind speeds that exceed 9.0 m/s of the site. The 30-year full-scope service contract will maximize energy production for the lifetime of the project.
The nine Vestas turbines will replace 15 Nordex N80-2.5 MW turbines and increase the wind park's annual energy production.
The contract includes supply, installation, and commissioning of the nine turbines, as well as a 30-year Active Output Management (AOM 5000) service agreement. The project will feature a VestasOnline® Business SCADA solution to lower turbine downtime and optimize the energy output.
Turbine delivery is scheduled for the second and third quarter of 2021, while commissioning is planned for the fourth quarter of 2021.
