Vestas has received a 58 MW repowering order for the first phase of the 94 MW Overgaard 1 wind farm in Randers Municipality in Denmark. The order is placed by SE Blue Renewables, a joint venture between the Danish energy company SE and Denmark’s largest pension company, PFA Pension.
The order includes supply, installation and commissioning of 16 V126-3.45 MW wind turbines delivered in 3.6 MW Power Optimised Mode as well as a 20-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement.
Once completed, Overgaard phase 1 will consist of 26 new wind turbines, which will almost quadruple the current site’s wind energy production, demonstrating the strong business case in replacing older turbines with newer and more efficient variants.
Deliveries are expected to begin in the second quarter of 2020, while commissioning is planned for the middle of 2020.
