Vestas has secured a 40 MW order for the Nowy Tomysl project from SPV Sevivon Windpark 2 Sp. Z.o.o., a subsidiary of leading European project developer PNE AG. Located in Kuslin in western Poland, the project will consist of 12 V126-3.45 MW wind turbines in 3.3 MW operating mode combined with 137m towers, maximising power production while at the same time offering competitive levelised cost of energy.

Adding to the more than 1.5 GW of contracts signed in Poland’s auction system to date, this order underlines Vestas’ leading position in the Polish renewable energy sector, where the company today has installed about 2.4 GW of wind turbines.

"We are delighted to be realising this new Polish wind project together with Vestas. This is a continuation of the good cooperation in previously realised projects in Germany and other European markets", says Markus Lesser, CEO of PNE AG.

“This order underlines the strong partnership between PNE AG and Vestas and we are proud to be part of our customer’s success in Poland’s latest auction. Delivering best-in-class wind energy technology that further contributes to the energy transition in Poland, we look forward to realise the project for PNE”, states Nils de Baar, President of Vestas Northern and Central Europe.

The contract includes supply, installation and commissioning of the wind turbines, as well as 20-year Active Output Management 4000 (AOM 4000) service agreement. In addition, the project will feature a VestasOnline® Business SCADA solution, lowering turbine downtime and thus optimising the energy output.

Deliveries and commissioning are expected to take place in fourth quarter of 2021.

Auction win

Mytilineos S.A. has placed a 43 MW order for the Makrynoros wind park, located in Central Greece. The contract includes the supply and installation of twelve V136-3.45 MW wind turbines delivered in 3.6 MW operating mode, as well as a 20-year Active Output Management 4000 (AOM 4000) service agreement.

“We are very happy to work once again, with Vestas, on a large wind farm in Greece. It is the seventh  cooperation between our companies, for a total of 172 MW. This by itself, proves the trust we put in Vestas, as one of the main strategic partners of Mytilineos,” said Mr. Dinos Benroubi , General Manager of Mytilineos’ Business Unit Power and Gas.

The Makrynoros wind park, awarded in the wind energy tender held in July 2019, reinforces Vestas’ leadership in the Greek auctions, where it has won more auctioned capacity than all other solutions providers combined.  

“Mytilineos S.A is a key customer for us in Greece and I would like to thank them for their trust in Vestas’ technology and service capabilities. Our long-term relationship represents a solid contribution to Greece’s transition to a sustainable energy mix”, says Head of Vestas Hellas, Marios Zangas.

Turbine delivery is planned for the fourth quarter of 2021, whilst commissioning is expected to begin in June 2022.

Vestas pioneered the Greek wind market in 1986 and this year its office in Athens celebrates its 20th anniversary. This new order also consolidates the company’s leading position in the country with over 1.9 GW of wind turbines installed and more than 43 percent of market share.
