Windar wins contract to supply monopiles for 800 MW Vineyard offshore wind project in US

Windar Renovables has won a contract to manufacture and deliver 84 monopile foundations for the 800 MW Vineyard Wind offshore wind farm in Massachusetts, US.

The contract covers the manufacture, certification, assembly, inspection, storage and delivery of the 84 monopiles and transition pieces. The value of the contract is close to EUR100 million (US$112.8 million) and it will create up to 500 jobs at peak production times at Windar's facilities in Asturias.

The 84 monopile foundations will support the wind farm's MHI Vestas 9.5 MW wind turbines installed some 14 miles south of Martha’s Vineyard. The construction is expected to start this year and the wind farm is scheduled to be operational in 2021.
