Vestas to Supply 50 MW Wind Farm in Scotland

With this deal, Vestas strengthens its presence in the UK onshore wind market, where the manufacturer today has installed more than 2,000 wind turbines with a total capacity of more than 4 GW. The project confirms onshore wind energy’s increasing competitiveness in the UK at a time when renewable energy is setting new records providing almost 40 percent of the UK’s electricity.

“We are pleased to continue our longstanding partnership with ERG. This order once again demonstrates that onshore wind is one of the most cost-competitive energy sources in the UK and how wind energy projects can be key for UK to reach its ambitious target of being net-zero by 2050”, states Juan Furones, VP Sales North & West, Vestas Northern & Central Europe. “Leveraging the versatility of the 4 MW platform technology combined with a long-term service agreement, we ensure maximum value for our customer’s business case”.

The contract also includes a 20-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement.
