Vestas has secured a conditional contract to supply 64 V235-15.0 MW wind turbines for EnBW’s 900 MW He Dreiht offshore windfarm
The wind turbine OEM has also entered a conditional agreement with Cadeler to transport and install the turbines for the He Dreiht project.
Installation is due to begin in Q2 2025, with full commissioning anticipated by the fourth quarter of the same year.
The project has a grid connection capacity of 900 MW and an excess capacity of 60 MW in order to use the connection capacity as efficiently as possible when production is lower.
Vestas said development work on the V236-15.0 MW prototype is progressing and the prototype is due to be installed later this year, with series production beginning in 2024.
Turbine installation for He Dreiht will be executed by one of Cadeler’s two O-class vessels, which by then will have a new crane with a lifting capacity of 1,600 tonnes at a radius of 40 m.
The windfarm will be built 90 km northwest of Borkum and about 110 km west of Helgoland.
