Vestas has received a 34 MW order for the Haramsfjellet wind project on the island of Haramsøya in western Norway.
Vestas has developed a solution to fit the site’s wind conditions that include eight V136-4.2 MW turbines and a long-term service contract to optimize energy production for the lifetime of the project in a high wind location. With a robust design for tough wind sites, the turbine is well-suited for the challenging climatic conditions that are commonly found in Norway’s western coastline.
The order is placed by Finnish-based Taaleri Energia investing via their SolarWind II fund in the project that will have an annual production of about 112 GWh; enough electricity to supply around 7,000 Norwegian households.
The contract includes the supply, installation, and commissioning of the wind turbines, as well as a 27-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement. The project will also feature a VestasOnline® Business SCADA solution to lower turbine downtime and optimize the energy output.
Turbine delivery is scheduled for the second quarter of 2020, while commissioning is planned for the fourth quarter of 2020.
