Vestas has received a 32 MW order from Marhult Vind for the Marhult wind project in the Uppvidinge municipality outside Vaxjo, Sweden.
Octopus Renewables, the fund management specialist which is part of Octopus Energy Group’s generation business, recently acquired the Marhult wind farm from OX2, and they are working together to build and operate it.
The order includes the supply and installation of seven V150-4.5 MW wind turbines, which are planned to be commissioned by the end of 2023. Deliveries at Marhult are expected to begin in the second quarter of 2023.
Vestas has also secured a Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement to enable power performance certainty and Vestas’ industry-leading service expertise throughout the lifetime of the project, said Juan Furones, VP Sales North & West at Vestas Northern and Central Europe.
“This wind farm will play an important role in growing renewable generation in Sweden, a market where we’re continuing to expand our footprint,” Peter Dias, Investment Director at Octopus Renewables, said in a news statement.
Vestas has also partnered with OX2 to deliver projects across Sweden, Norway, Finland and Poland, with over 1,600 MW in orders won to date. Vestas is also partnered with OX2 to supply the 86 MW Karskruv project, which is located near the Marhult site.
