Vestas has secured an order from RWE for the 660MW Nordseecluster A offshore wind project in Germany.

The company will supply 44 V236-15.0 MW wind turbines for the first phase, overseeing their supply, delivery and commissioning.

Vestas will also enter a five-year service agreement, followed by an operational support agreement, to maintain the turbines post-completion. Delivery of the wind turbines is set for 2026.

Vestas Northern and Central Europe president Nils de Baar stated: “We are pleased to be involved in this pivotal project for Europe’s offshore wind industry which is also a reflection of our commitment to promoting clean energy solutions.

“Vestas remains dedicated to leading the shift towards a more sustainable future. Our thanks go to RWE for the great collaboration over several years to make this project happen. Our entire team is looking forward to delivering the Nordseecluster.”

The Nordseecluster is being implemented in two phases. The second phase, Nordseecluster B, will increase capacity by a further 900MW.

Vestas and RWE have a conditional order agreement for an additional 60 V236-15.0 MW wind turbines for this subsequent phase.

The Nordseecluster project is located 50km north of the island of Juist in the German North Sea.

RWE offshore wind chief operating officer Thomas Michel stated: “We are very pleased to enter the execution phase for our Nordseecluster A project – which itself is already a great achievement.

“Many thanks to all involved. Now all focus is on delivery and we are excited about the future cooperation lying ahead of us.”

In June 2024 Vestas secured a 72MW order for the Holtsee wind energy project in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.

It will deliver and commission ten V162-7.2 MW wind turbines.
