Vestas wins 41-MW wind order in southern Germany

By Michelle Froese | January 31, 2017

The project will be customized and include a combination of Vestas’ V126-3.3 MW and V126-3.45 MW turbines.

Energie Baden-Württemberg AG (EnBW) has placed an order for 12 of Vestas‘ V126-3.45 MW and V126-3.3 MW wind turbines for the Langenburg wind-power plant in Baden-Württemberg, southern Germany.

The order includes supply and commissioning of the turbines, and the VestasOnline Business SCADA solution. Turbine delivery and commissioning is expected to begin in the second half of 2017.

The project is an example of the versatility of Vestas’ product portfolio and how it can be customized for any site. The project will employ a combination of V126-3.3 MW (with a hub height of 137 m) and V126-3.45 MW (with a hub height of 117 m).

“By combining V126-3.3 MW with V126-3.45 MW turbines, both among our top performers for low-wind sites, EnBW highlights that Vestas’ technology offerings can be customized to any site and provide a strong business case,” said Nils de Baar, President of Vestas Central Europe. “This choice also reflects the strong sense of partnership that exists between our two companies.”

Dirk Güsewell, Senior VP of Generation and Portfolio Development of EnBW, agrees. “The wind solution provides just the right business case for the project and speaks to our ambition of developing wind parks with the lowest possible cost of energy,” he said.
