ENERCON receives orders from Ørsted in Northern Ireland

ENERCON announced today that it has entered into a Turbine Supply Agreement (TSA) with renewable energy company Ørsted. Under this agreement, ENERCON will install seven E-82 E4 wind turbines to Ørsted at its site at Ballykeel, Co Antrim in Northern Ireland, with a total installed capacity of 16 MW. 

The energy generated at the Ballykeel wind farm will be sold to Amazon under a long-term fixed-price Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (CPPA), the first of its kind in Northern Ireland. 

‘ENERCON is pleased to enter into this agreement to supply Ørsted with WECs at its Ballykeel site in Northern Ireland. It is inspiring to work with organisations who are committed to investing in and using renewable energy to power their business now and into the future’, says Frederic Maenhaut, ENERCON’s Head of Western Europe. 

Installation of ENERCON wind turbines will commence at Ballykeel in October 2022 and it is anticipated that the site will be commissioned in 2023. This contract will be supported by a 20-year maintenance agreement.

Today, over 670 ENERCON wind turbines representing more than 1.4 GW of installed capacity produce clean energy on the island of Ireland. With a market share of 21 %, ENERCON is looking forward to building on these figures over the coming years.
