(WK-intern) – Vestas Asia Pacific: Vestas erweitert seine Präsenz in Westaustralien mit EPC-Auftrag und erteilt 2018 einen Auftrag von 1 GW in Australien

Vestas expands footprint in Western Australia with EPC order and passes 1 GW of orders in Australia in 2018
Vestas’ orders in Australia in 2018 have passed 1 GW today after the signing of a 184 MW engineering, procurement and construction contract for the Warradarge Wind Farm. The 1 GW of orders is Vestas’ highest in one year since installing the country’s first commercial-sized wind farm 25 years ago. The project announced today also marks an expansion of Vestas’ footprint in Western Australia, increasing the company’s total installed capacity in the state to 561 MW.
Located near Eneabba in mid-west Western Australia, the Warradarge Wind Farm project will feature 51 V136-3.45 MW turbines delivered in 3.6 MW Power Optimised Mode with hub heights of 84 meters to maximise performance in the site’s specific wind conditions.
The order is placed by Bright Energy Investments, a joint venture between Western Australian electricity generator and retailer Synergy, global infrastructure investment fund DIF and Australian industry superannuation fund Cbus.
“We are extremely pleased to work with Bright Energy Investments on this project. It has extraordinary wind conditions and will make an important contribution to powering Western Australia with competitive renewable energy”, said Asia Pacific President Clive Turton. “After the Warradarge Wind Farm comes online, Vestas will have an installed base of 561 MW in Western Australia, expanding our service footprint and capability to support future projects in the state.”
“The high calibre of the parties involved in Bright Energy Investments and Vestas’ world-class experience will ensure that the Warradarge Wind Farm is delivered smoothly and on-schedule,” said Tom Frood, General Manager Bight Energy Investments. “Synergy has a strong history in Western Australian solar and wind assets, and is committed to increasing its renewable energy portfolio, and Vestas’ rich industry expertise and proven track record will ensure that the first power generation is on track for 2020”.
Upon completion, Vestas will commence an up to 30-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement, designed to maximise energy production for the lifetime of the project. With a yield-based availability guarantee, covering both turbines and balance of plant assets, Vestas will provide Synergy with long-term business case certainty. Commercial operations at Warradarge Wind Farm are scheduled to commence in the third quarter of 2020.

Vestas Mediterranean: Vestas erhält einen 32 MW-Windpark-Erweiterungsauftrag in Italien und übersteigt den weltweiten Auftragseingang von 12 GW für 2018

Vestas receives 32 MW wind park extension order in Italy and passes 12 GW in global order intake for 2018
Vestas has signed a 32 MW contract for the extension of the Ulassai wind park in Italy that takes Vestas’ global order intake in 2018 to 12,014 MW, clearly passing 2017’s record order intake of 11,176 MW. The 2018 order intake is based on announced orders in all four quarters of 2018 as well as unannounced orders in the first three quarters of the year. Unannounced MW of orders received in the fourth quarter of 2018 will be disclosed in the annual report in February 2019.
The order is placed by Sardeolica S.r.L. and includes the supply and installation of nine V117-3.45 MW turbines delivered in 3.6 MW Power Optimised Mode, adding to the 48 V80-2.0 MW turbines already installed on the site. To accommodate the site’s specific wind conditions and maximise energy production, six of the new turbines will have a hub height of 91.5m whilst the other three will be 116.5m.
With this new contract, the long-term partnership between Vestas and Sardeolica continues to evolve and now, totals 128 MW of wind projects in Italy.
“This is Vestas’ first contract outside the auctions systems in Italy and therefore showcases, once again, the competitiveness and efficiency of wind energy. Since 2012, when the country held its first auction, Vestas has achieved more than 1 GW in order intake derived from auction-wins in Italy. In this regard, this new contract represents a great step on the country’s transition towards renewable energy and we are so proud to be part of this milestone,” says Rainer Karan, General Manager of Vestas Mediterranean Eastern Cluster.
Turbine delivery is planned for the second quarter of 2019 whilst commissioning is expected by the third quarter of the same year.
Since installing its first turbine in Italy in 1991, Vestas has led the country’s wind industry with more than 4 GW capacity installed, being the main contributor to the expansion of wind energy in Italy with a 40 percent market share.

Vestas Northern and Central Europe: Vestas erhält 29 MW-Repower-Auftrag aus Dänemarks erster Energieauktion

Vestas receives 29 MW repower order from Denmark’s first energy auction
Vestas has received a 29 MW repowering order from the Danish utility company NRGi Renewables A/S for the Tagmark wind park in Thisted Municipality in northwestern Jutland, Denmark. The repowering project is derived from Denmark’s first energy-neutral auction held in November 2018.
The site currently consists of six V66-1.75 MW turbines, which will be replaced by eight V117-3.45 MW turbines delivered in 3.6 MW Power Optimised Mode that will more than double the annual energy production due to more efficient turbines. The project thus underlines Denmark’s large repowering potential from replacing older turbines with new and more efficient variants.
“Our strong partnership with Vestas on this project has enabled us to deliver the most competitive bid in Denmark’s first energy-neutral auction, which marks a significant milestone in Denmark’s green transition as it highlights that renewable energy projects are soon possible without any state subsidies,” says Jakob Bundgaard, CEO of NRGi Renewables A/S
The project is firmly rooted in the community, as the local owners of the current turbines will be part owners of the new project and 20 percent of the new wind park will be sold in shares to nearest neighbours.
“To partner with NRGI on this repowering project, which is derived from Denmark’s first energy-neutral auction, highlights onshore wind energy offers the lowest cost of energy and Denmark’s repowering potential. Denmark continues to be an important market for Vestas and the strong local commitment to this project underlines wind energy’s benefits for both our climate and the community”, says Christer Baden Hansen, Vestas Head of Sales Nordics
Deliveries are expected to begin in the third quarter of 2019, while commissioning is planned for the fourth quarter of 2019.

Vestas-American Wind Technology: Vestas erhält einen 40-MW-Auftrag von 60 Prozent PTC-qualifizierten Turbinenkomponenten in den US

Vestas receives 40 MW order of 60 percent PTC qualifying turbine components in USA
Vestas has received a 40 MW order of 4 MW platform compatible turbine components that qualify for the 60 percent PTC value from an undisclosed customer.
These components will enable future wind energy projects that complete construction by the end of 2022.
The long-term PTC phasedown terms set in the PATH act, passed by Congress in 2015, made the wind industry the first energy industry to agree to permanent tax reform and have resulted billions of dollars in wind energy investment in the U.S., including expansions in domestic manufacturing and supply chain, construction, transportation, tax revenue to local communities, and the addition of ens of thousands of jobs across the wind value chain.
