Vestas has received an order for a 29 MW wind power plant from Avacon Natur GmbH, a subsidiary of German utility E.ON SE.
The seven V136-4.2 MW wind turbines at a hub height of 166m – the tallest standard towers currently offered by Vestas – provide excellent energy production for the project, which is located at a highly complex steel production facility in Lower Saxony. The facility’s limited space and industrial infrastructure requires a specific transportation and installation solution to construct the project while not disrupting ongoing steel production. Under these complex requirements, the scope of supply for Vestas includes the civil EPC part of this project, including the design and building of foundations, roads and crane pads.
Once installed, the project will produce around 75 GWh per year, enough clean energy to provide the energy consumption of more than 20,000 German households.
The order comprises supply, installation, and commissioning of the turbines as well as a 20-year Active Output Management (AOM 5000) service agreement and a VestasOnline® Business SCADA solution. Wind turbine delivery is planned to begin in the second quarter of 2020, with commissioning expected in the third quarter of 2020.
