Vestas wins 207 MW repowering order with EnVentus wind turbines in Flevoland

SwifterwinT op Land B.V., a collaboration of more than 170 residents and entrepreneurs in the Netherlands, has placed a 207 MW order for their repowering project Windplanblauw Onshore.

The wind park currently consists of 46 turbines of various turbine variants and brands which will be replaced by 37 new and more efficient turbine variants from the EnVentus platform. Demonstrating the large potential in replacing older turbines with innovative technology, Vestas has developed a customized solution that comprises 37 V162-5.6 MW turbines with both 136.5m and 168m hub heights and a 25-year service and availability contract, capable of maximizing the annual energy production while meeting local restrictions.

The order is adding to Vestas’ installed onshore wind capacity of more than 2 GW in the country.

The contracts include supply, installation, and commissioning of the wind turbines, as well as a VestasOnline® Business SCADA solution, lowering turbine downtime and thus optimizing the energy output.

The delivery for the project is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2022 while commissioning is planned for the fourth quarter of 2022 and the first quarter of 2023. Once the Windplanblauw Onshore project is repowered, it will generate enough electricity for more than 400.000 local households.
