Vestas Receives Order for German Repowering Project

The Norderwöhrden wind farm in Schleswig-Holstein, Northern Germany, has a capacity of 76 MW. Delivery and commissioning is planned to begin in the third quarter of 2017.

Peter Looft and Michael Schmidt, General Managers at Looft-Schmidt Projekte Erneuerbarer Energien GmbH said, “Together with Kaiser-Wilhelm-Koog, Norderwöhrden is the cradle of the German energy transition and thus a special place within wind energy in Germany with the first turbines being installed more than 30 years ago. We are looking forward to repower our wind park with Vestas and the V112-3.45 MW turbine, which together with the service agreement provides the ideal wind solution for this project. Vestas’ efficient technology combined with their well-known smooth project execution convinced us to choose them as our partner once again. This great project has brought 13 different operating companies together and the collaboration, engagement and support from all parties are key to the realisation of it”.
