Based on site-specific conditions, the 3.45MW power mode will increase annual energy production and contribute to lowering the cost of energy.
The shared nacelle technology and design allows Vestas to offer the 3.45MW power mode across its entire 3MW platform. The power mode will thus be available on the V105-3.3MW, V112-3.3MW, V117-3.3MW, and V126-3.3MW turbines. In January 2015, Norway’s Statkraft and Vestas signed a letter of intent to supply wind turbines for the Fosen (owned by Fosen Vind AS) and Snillfjord (owned by SAE Vind DA) wind power projects in Norway, which have a potential of up to 1,000MW. If the projects should result in firm and unconditional orders, Statkraft as the operator of the projects expects to utilise the 3.45MW power mode on the V117 turbine.
