Vestas has secured a definitive contract from North Kyle Wind Farm Limited, a division of Brockwell Energy Limited, for the North Kyle wind park situated in East Ayrshire, Scotland.
This contract is in connection with the acquisition of 49 V136-4.5 MW wind turbines, as well as supply, delivery, and commissioning services for the turbines. Following the project’s completion, Vestas will undertake the maintenance of the turbines through a 30-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement, aimed at maximizing the assets’ performance efficiency. The turbines will be delivered in Q2 of 2024, while the commissioning process is scheduled for Q3 of 2025.
“We are excited to partner up for the first time with Brockwell Energy Limited to deliver one of the largest onshore projects in the UK as the market scales to achieve net zero,” says Anna Schlasberg Wachtmeister, Vice President Sales for Northern and Central Europe at Vestas. “North Kyle is yet another order for the V136-4.5 MW turbine and takes Vestas beyond 4 GW under full scope service in the UK and Ireland”.
Paul Newman, Commercial Director at Brockwell Energy Limited commented: “We are delighted to be partnering with Vestas on Brockwell’s flagship North Kyle project. We look forward to continuing our positive collaboration with Vestas during the construction and long-term operational phase of the project. Once constructed the project is expected to generate sufficient green energy to power 163,000 homes and will make a significant contribution to the UK’s net zero target”.
