In Germany, Vestas has received a firm order for RWE’s 900 MW Nordseecluster B offshore wind project, an order announced in May this year. The order includes 60 x V236-15.0 MW wind turbines and Vestas is responsible for the supply, delivery, and commissioning of the turbines. Upon completion, Vestas will also service the asset under a 5-year service agreement followed by a long-term operational support agreement.
The Nordseecluster is being implemented in two phases, A and B. The first phase, the 660 MW Nordseecluster A, was announced as a firm order in June and consists of 44 x V236-15.0 MW turbines. Thomas Michel, COO, RWE Offshore Wind commented: “With the addition of Nordseecluster B to our portfolio of projects in execution, we’re building offshore wind farms with a total capacity of 4.8 GW. Working closely with our supply chain partners is critical to the successful delivery of this ambitious programme and we’re very much looking forward to working with Vestas on … Nordseecluster.”
The project site is located around 50km north of the island of Juist in the German North Sea. Wind turbine installation for Nordseecluster B is expected to take place in 2028 with commercial operation planned to start at the beginning of 2029.
In the USA Vestas has won an order from Invenergy Wind to supply the Alle-Catt Wind Energy project of 342 MW capacity, located in the Allegany, Cattaraugus counties of Wyoming. It will deploy 76 x 4.5 MW Vestas V150-4.5 MW wind turbines. The contract includes a 10-year AOM 5000 service agreement.
Delivery is planned for Q4 2025, and commissioning scheduled for late 2026. The order will bring to more than 185 GW in 88 countries the total capacity of wind turbines Vestas has installed to date.
