Vestas has announced it will partner with RWE in bringing the Norfolk Wind Zone in the UK forward, following the agreement between RWE and Vattenfall for RWE to take over the three Norfolk projects.
The announcement follows the announcement that Vestas and Vattenfall had signed a preferred supplier agreement (PSA) for the Norfolk Vanguard West project, Norfolk Vanguard East and Norfolk Boreas projects. The agreements signed with Vattenfall for the three projects include a preferred supplier agreement (PSA) for the 1,380 MW Norfolk Vanguard West project, comprising 92 of Vestas’ V236-15 MW offshore wind turbines. Vattenfall and Vestas have further signed exclusivity agreements for the Norfolk Vanguard East and Norfolk Boreas projects, with a total installed capacity of 2,760 MW. The two latter projects will potentially feature up to 184 V236-15 MW turbines. Once installed, the agreements also include that Vestas will service the projects under long-term Operations and Maintenance (O&M) service contracts.
