Vestas V155-3.3 MW wind turbine

Vestas has received a 21 MW order from Enefit Green AS’s subsidiary, Enefit Wind Purtse, for the Purtse wind project in Estonia.

The order includes the supply and installation of five V136-4.2 MW turbines installed at a hub height of 82m. Vestas will also service the turbines under a 30-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement.

“Our V136-4.2 MW technology has proven to be an optimal match for the Purtse project, and we’re committed to delivering this project safely and on schedule, to kickstart the necessary Estonian wind energy transition,” Juan Furones, VP Sales North & West at Vestas Northern & Central Europe, said in a news statement.

“Purtse Wind Farm will be the first large wind farm to be built in Estonia in many years. The wind turbines in Estonia will start generating electricity in Purtse, and a reliable partner in their installation ensures that the farm is completed on time,” Aavo Karmas, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Enefit Wind Putse said.

Deliveries at the Purtse wind project are expected to begin in the first quarter of 2023, while commissioning is planned for the first half of 2023.

Enefit Green acquired the development project for Purtse Wind Farm from Raunistal in March 2021 and made the final investment decision to start construction in January 2022.
