Upon completion, Vestas will service the turbines under a 20-year active output management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement designed to ensure optimised performance of the assets.
“This project marks another, positive first for Vestas in the UK. Last year we secured our first EnVentus order in the country. Now we’re delighted to partner with SSE on the first deployment in the UK of the larger V162-6.2 MW turbines. Vestas’ broad range of onshore wind solutions continue to deliver a robust solution for the UK electricity market,” stated James Robinson, Country Manager and Director Sales UK for Vestas Northern and Central Europe.
Turbine delivery is expected to begin in 4Q26 with the project expected to be operational in 3Q27.
