This takes Vestas’ order intake in Finland in 2019 above 800 MW with almost 600 MW of the volume contracted for the Enventus platform. Both projects will consist of EnVentus V162-5.6 MW turbines with a 166m hub height and a 25-year full scope service agreement (AOM 5000), aiming to significantly boost the projects’ annual energy production and lowering the cost of energy.
“Vestas has developed a competitive solution that optimally fits the market-based investment environment in Finland, providing a profitable business case for our Parhalahti and Hankila projects” said Mr Antti Vilkuna, Managing Director of Puhuri Oy. “We trust in Vestas’ project experience and leading wind energy solutions and look forward to continuing our successful partnership with them.”
Christer Baden Hansen, Vice President Sales North & West, Vestas Northern & Central Europe, added that the EnVentus order further strengthens the companies position in the Nordics and emphasis its ability to innovate industry-leading technology that offers the lowest cost of energy to the Finnish energy consumers, underlying wind energy’s competitiveness.
The contract includes the supply, installation and commissioning of the 18 wind turbines, as well as a 25-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement. The project will also feature a VestasOnline Business SCADA solution to lower turbine downtime and optimise the energy output.
