The blade set for the Vestas V236-15.0 MW offshore wind turbine prototype arrived at the port of Hanstholm. All three blades were then transported to Østerild National Test Centre, where they will be installed.
The 115.5 metre blades for the prototype have been produced at Vestas’ blades factory in Nakskov, Denmark. Serial production will also take place at the Nakskov facility from the second half of 2023 and at Vestas’ blades factory in Taranto, Italy, from the third quarter of 2023. The installation of the V236-15.0 MW prototype is well underway with all tower sections, nacelle and hub already installed. With the three blades installed, the turbine will be ready to produce its first kWh.
