Vestas has bagged an order from Thyborøn-Harboøre Vindmøllelaug I/S af 2002 for a V236-15.0 MW wind turbine to be situated on the waterfront in Denmark’s Port of Thyborøn. The order includes turbine supply, delivery, and commissioning, along with a 20-year AOM4000 service agreement and test activities.
Following the installation of the prototype at the Østerild National test center, Vestas gears up for offshore projects in Germany, Poland, and the Netherlands, with installation slated to commence in 2025. Delivery at the Nissum Bredning site begins in Q1 2024, with commissioning targeted for Q2 2024.
“We are very pleased to install the new V236-15.0 MW turbine at a site in Thyborøn that offers great wind conditions for optimal energy production. Nearly 2,800 local shareholders have financed the turbine, and we look forward to showcase it to locals and tourists as we expect it to become an attraction,” says Jens Jørgen Birch, spokesperson at Thyborøn-Harboøre Vindmøllelaug I/S af 2002.
“We are very pleased with the effective collaboration with Thyborøn-Harboøre Vindmøllelaug for this turbine that will help us in our final verification campaign before we begin serial production and installation of the first offshore projects featuring the V236-15.0 MW turbine. The 264 days approval process from the municipality has been extremely quick while the local support from the citizens in Thyborøn have been overwhelmingly positive. Therefore, this is a great international example of how a combination of quick permitting and local engagement can support the green transition,” says Nils de Baar, President of Vestas Northern and Central Europe.
