Vestas has received an 11 MW order from long-term customer NOTUS energy Plan GmbH & Co. KG for two V150-5.6 MW turbines and a 25-year service contract for the Beesenberg II wind project in Brandenburg, Eastern Germany. The turbines will be integrated to the already installed wind power plant Beesenberg and Lübbenow, where the first German V150-4.2 MW turbines, ordered in 2018, are currently under construction.
This is the first order for the EnVentus platform in Germany and the project will feature the first V150-5.6 MW turbines worldwide.
Ensuring a stronger business case for the customer, the EnVentus turbines for the project will come with a 25-year certified lifetime that enables the turbines to operate without a new technical qualification after the current standard of 20 years.
Utilizing Vestas’ LDST tower technology to go to 166m hub heights, the V150-5.6 MW turbines will reach stronger and more consistent wind speeds, which will increase the annual energy production and lower the levelised cost of energy.
The order comprises supply, installation, and commissioning of the turbines as well as a 25-year Active Output Management (AOM 4000) service agreement and a VestasOnline® Business SCADA solution. Wind turbine delivery and commissioning are planned to begin in the fourth quarter of 2020.
