Vestas Hits New Highs in Poland

The project was awarded at the Polish wind-solar energy auction held in November last year, which was won exclusively by wind projects with record-low prices. The order is Vestas’ largest order ever in Poland and takes its order intake from the country’s latest auction round to 220 MW.

The site will feature V126-3.45 MW turbines with both 3.45 MW and load optimised 3.3 MW rating, as well as 117m and 137m hub heights to maximise power production and cater for specific local site constraints. Turbine deliveries are expected to begin in the second quarter of 2020, while commissioning is planned for the third quarter of 2020.

"With the realisation of the Jasna wind farm, our renewable energies expansion campaign will take a further step forward. It will be our first major renewable project in Poland. By 2025, SWM aims to generate enough green power in its own installations to supply all of Munich, making Munich the first city with over a million inhabitants worldwide to reach this target. Wind power will play a significant role in achieving our goals", says Dr Florian Bieberbach, CEO of SWM.

“This order, from our valued partner SWM, once again underlines Vestas’ ability to win in auctions and deliver clean and low-cost wind energy. We are determined to contribute to the overall growth of renewable energy production in Poland, ensuring the lowest cost of energy to the Polish energy consumers, and we look forward to maximise our customer’s return on investment by offering a competitive cost of energy”, states Nils de Baar, President of Vestas Northern and Central Europe.

The Jasna wind project will feature a VestasOnline^® Business SCADA solution, lowering turbine downtime and thus optimising the energy output. The contract further includes supply, installation and commissioning of the wind turbines, as well as a 20-year Active Output Management 4000 (AOM 4000) service agreement.
