The contract includes seven V172-7.2MW turbines along with a 20-year AOM 4000 service agreement, highlighting a strong focus on long-term operational performance and customer support. The deal reflects continued investment in Germany’s onshore wind sector and demonstrates Vestas’ capability to deliver integrated solutions combining advanced turbine technology with lifecycle service innovation. The inclusion of a long-term service contract ensures efficiency, reliability, and optimized energy output for customers. Delivery is scheduled to begin in Q2 2027, with commissioning expected in Q4 2027. The project will contribute to clean energy generation, strengthen energy security, and provide sustained environmental and economic benefits.
Neoen Launches Construction of Irish Solar Projects
Neoen has started construction on two major solar projects in Ireland—Garr Solar Farm (162MWp) in County Offaly and Johnstown North Solar Farm (33MWp) in County Wicklow. The projects were awarded under the RESS 4 auction and will be delivered by Omexom and TLI Group, covering solar arrays, substations and grid connections. Scheduled for completion in 2029 and 2028 respectively, the projects will nearly double Neoen’s Irish capacity to 410MW. Garr will power over 38,000 homes and cut 51,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually, while Johnstown North will supply 8,000 homes and avoid 10,500 tonnes. The development highlights strong investment, innovation in solar deployment, and customer-focused clean energy delivery, supporting lower power costs, energy security, and long-term environmental benefits.
