Vestas has received a 132 MW order from Windfarm Polska III sp. z o.o., owned by Stadtwerke München (SWM), for the Jasna wind project Pomorskie Voivodship, in northern Poland. Underlining the strong competitiveness of wind energy, the project was awarded at the Polish wind-solar energy auction held in November last year, which was won exclusively by wind projects with record-low prices. The order is Vestas’ largest order ever in Poland and takes its order intake from the country’s latest auction round to 220 MW.
To maximise power production and cater to specific local site constraints, Vestas has developed a site-specific solution utilising our product portfolio’s flexibility by optimised rating and deploying different hub heights. Specifically, the site will feature V126-3.45 MW turbines with both 3.45 MW and load optimised 3.3 MW rating, as well as 117m and 137m hub heights.
The Jasna wind project will feature a VestasOnline® Business SCADA solution, lowering turbine downtime and thus optimising the energy output. The contract further includes supply, installation and commissioning of the wind turbines, as well as a 20-year Active Output Management 4000 (AOM 4000) service agreement. Turbine deliveries are expected to begin in the second quarter of 2020, while commissioning is planned for the third quarter of 2020.
