Northwester 2: MHI Vestas Installs First Ever V164-9.5 MW Turbine
The first turbine has been installed at Northwester 2 in Belgium, the world’s first offshore wind farm to feature the record-breaking V164-9.5 MW turbine. The project will consist of 23 V164.9-5 MW turbines to spin 50 km off the coast of Ostend in Belgium.
“The installation of the world’s first commercial wind turbine exceeding 9 MW is an exceptionally proud moment for our company,” said MHI Vestas Chief Operations Officer Flemming Ougaard. “The installation of our first fleet of V164-9.5 MW turbines is an example of our company’s strong partnership with Parkwind and our passion for offshore wind technology.”
One V164-9.5 MW turbine at Northwester 2 can generate power to meet the demand of 9.500 Belgian homes. In total, the offshore wind park will be able to supply 220.000 Belgian households with clean energy.
