Vestas has received a 384 MW order for the second phase of DTEK’s Tyligulska project in Ukraine. This order follows the 114 MW Tyligulska phase one order which Vestas received in March 2021 and commissioned in the spring of 2023.
For this new order, Vestas will be supplying 64 wind turbines, and is responsible for the supply, delivery, and commissioning of the turbines. Together, the first and second phase of Tyligulska will have a capacity of 498 MW, with a total of 83 V162-6.2 MW wind turbines in 6.0 MW operating mode, making it the largest wind energy project in the country.
“Today’s agreement is a big step towards a new energy future for Ukraine. From a system threatened daily by attacks, we are building a resilient and secure energy infrastructure that also helps Ukraine deliver on its climate commitments. Since the beginning of the invasion, we have already invested more than €1 billion in Ukraine. This deal signals not only our confidence in Ukraine, but our partners’ trust in DTEK to deliver major energy projects during a war,” commented DTEK CEO Maxim Timchenko.
The project is being realised with strong support from authorities in Denmark, Ukraine and EU and it is backed by a financial guarantee from EIFO, the state-owned Export and Investment Fund of Denmark.
Vestas will also provide service for both phases of the DTEK Tyligulska project through a 20-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement. Turbine delivery is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2025 with commissioning scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of 2026.
