Vestas Wind Systems has strengthened its order intake for the first quarter with two new wind energy projects in Germany, totaling 60 MW, reinforcing its presence in the European renewable energy market. The agreements include advanced turbine models and long-term service contracts, underlining the company’s focus on performance optimization and lifecycle management.
Heidsiek Lauenstein project – 31 MW order from JUWI
Vestas has received a 31 MW order from JUWI GmbH for the Heidsiek Lauenstein wind project in Germany. The order comprises five V162-6.2 MW turbines, designed to deliver high efficiency and optimized energy output in medium to low wind conditions.
The project will be supported by a 20-year AOM 4000 service agreement, ensuring long-term operational reliability and performance optimization. Delivery of the turbines is scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2027, while commissioning is expected to start in the first quarter of 2028.
The Heidsiek Lauenstein wind project in Germany is a mid-scale onshore wind development being executed by JUWI GmbH, a leading European renewable energy company specializing in the full lifecycle of wind and solar projects.
JUWI acts as a full-service project developer, typically responsible for site development, permitting, engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC), as well as operational management. The company is known for delivering turnkey renewable energy projects and managing assets throughout their lifecycle.
With more than two decades of experience, JUWI has implemented thousands of renewable energy installations globally, including over 1,000 wind turbines and large-scale solar projects, positioning it as a key player in Europe’s energy transition.
Furstenberg Wohlbedacht project – 29 MW order
Vestas has also secured a 29 MW contract from Venus Bene Consideratus GmbH & Co. KG I for the Furstenberg Wohlbedacht wind project.
The order includes four V172-7.2 MW turbines, one of Vestas’ latest high-capacity turbine variants, offering enhanced performance and efficiency for large-scale wind installations. Similar to the Heidsiek Lauenstein project, this contract also features a 20-year AOM 4000 service agreement, highlighting the growing importance of long-term service solutions in wind energy projects.
Delivery for this project is planned to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026, with commissioning scheduled for the third quarter of 2027.
The Furstenberg Wohlbedacht wind project in Germany, associated with Venus Bene Consideratus GmbH & Co. KG I, forms part of the broader Wohlbedacht wind farm cluster located in Bad Wünnenberg, North Rhine-Westphalia, a region with established onshore wind infrastructure.
Furstenberg site is part of a long-standing wind development zone. Earlier phases of the Wohlbedacht wind farm included multiple turbines with capacities ranging from about 4.2 MW per unit, contributing to incremental capacity expansion over time.
Regulatory filings indicate that the project involves construction and operation of four wind turbines within the Furstenberg area, subject to Germany’s Federal Immission Control Act (BImSchG), highlighting the environmental and permitting rigor associated with wind energy development.
The deployment of V162-6.2 MW and V172-7.2 MW turbine variants highlights the industry’s shift toward higher-capacity turbines capable of maximizing energy production while reducing the levelized cost of energy. These technologies are particularly suited for European wind conditions, where efficiency and grid integration are critical.
