Vestas has secured an 84 MW order from BE Energy GmbH, a subsidiary of Burgenland Energie AG, to repower a segment of the Neusiedl-Weiden wind energy project in Austria. Vestas will supply 14 V150-6.0 MW wind turbines, including their delivery and commissioning. Upon completion, Vestas will maintain the turbines under a 25-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement to ensure optimal asset performance.Turbine delivery is slated to commence in the second quarter of 2025, with commissioning expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2025.
“Neusiedl-Weiden is one of Austria’s largest repowering projects to date with 44 older turbines due to be replaced. This underlines the great significance repowering projects can have for the energy transition as fewer and more powerful units will be installed in an already developed location,” said Christoph Manseder, Senior Director, Sales, for Austria & Switzerland at Vestas. “We are grateful to be part of such an important project and look forward to continue our collaboration with BE Energy GmbH.”
Mag. Klaus Maras, Managing Director of BE Energy GmbH, added “The whole of Burgenland and we as a company can be proud that we are now starting Austria’s largest wind repowering project. We are also relying on new, innovative wind turbines from Vestas for this project and are delighted that we have concluded a supply and maintenance contract. With Vestas, we have a reliable partner at our side to achieve the desired energy independence in Burgenland and are convinced that the desired quality and delivery dates will be met.”
