Vestas has secured a pole position in the battle to supply the wind turbines for German EnBW's upcoming offshore wind farm He Dreiht, which is to be built in the German sector of the North Sea.
Vestas has been chosen as the preferred supplier for the wind turbines, where Vestas has bid with its upcoming V236-15 MW giant turbine, which will be the most powerful wind turbine on the market and with the largest swept area. It will also be the first time that Vestas can build its new model in a commercial project.
- Vestas is resolutely back in offshore wind with our leading V236-15.0 MW wind turbine, and we are pleased to be chosen as the preferred supplier for He Dreiht by EnBW, says Henrik Andersen, President and CEO of Vestas.
- I must pay tribute to EnBW for the close collaboration over the past few months, where we have worked to find the right solution for their He Dreiht project, and we are pleased to begin our cooperation in offshore wind off the German coast, adds Henrik Andersen.
Germany has Europe's largest onshore wind capacity, but also has great ambitions for offshore wind, where they want to have 20 GW installed by 2030.
This ambition requires large and groundbreaking projects, such as putting the world's largest offshore wind turbine into operation, adds Nils de Baar, President of Vestas in Northern and Central Europe.
The He Dreiht project will be implemented without any form of state support and will have a capacity of 900 MW, which will therefore require 60 15 MW offshore wind turbines from Vestas.
The wind turbines are planned to be installed in the second quarter of 2025 85 km north of Borkum and 104 km west of Heligoland.
