Vestas’ upgraded 3-MW turbine platform lowers LCOE and optimizes annual energy production.

Norwegian firm, Hamnefjell Vindkraft (a joint venture by Finnmark Kraft AS and private investment company Ardian) has placed a 52-MW order for 15 Vestas V112-3.45 MW wind turbines. All turbines will feature the upgraded 3-MW platform, which optimizes annual energy production and helps lower the levelized cost of energy (LCOE).

The Vestas turbines have been ordered for the Hamnefjell Wind Farm, which will be located in the north eastern part of Norway – a region known for its high-wind conditions. The contract comprises supply, installation, and commissioning of the wind turbines, as well as a 15-year Active Output Management (AOM) 5000 service agreement, ensuring maximum efficiency.

“Together with our partners and Vestas, we will build what will be one of the northernmost wind projects in Europe on a location offering outstanding wind resources,” said Lise Mette Heggheim, CEO from Hamnefjell Vindkraft. “This project will strengthen our ambition to be in the forefront of renewable energy development in our region, and will simultaneously increase the local security of energy supply.”

Delivery of the wind turbines is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2017.
