Vestas will also deliver a five-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement followed by a long-term Operational Support Agreement.
This firm order intake follows the announced preferred supplier agreement on 9 July 2021 and the conditional offer on 7 June 2022.
Expressing their views on the order, Nils de Baar, President of Vestas Northern & Central Europe, said, “We are delighted to announce this firm order for our offshore wind turbine V236-15.0 MW and are honoured to deliver this important milestone on Germany’s ambitious wind energy targets together with our partner EnBW. Our thanks go to EnBW for their confidence in our technology and the close cooperation since the beginning of the planning, and I am looking forward to seeing the V236-15.0 MW standing in the German North Sea soon.”
Commenting on their views, Jörn Däinghaus, Project Director of EnBW He Dreiht, said, “Since our pioneer wind farm Baltic 1 more than ten years ago, the technical performance of the turbines have increased sixfold. We will use Vestas’ modern and cost-efficient turbine technology which will enable us to realise He Dreiht without subsidies. We look forward to working with Vestas – a partner in whom we have great confidence.”
