Vestas and EnBW Sign Agreement for German Offshore Project

Danish wind turbine market leader Vestas has been awarded a conditional order agreement for the supply of 64 V235-15.0 MW wind turbines for EnBW’s 900 MW He Dreiht offshore wind project in 2025. Additionally, Vestas will also deliver a multi-year solution to service the wind project when operational.

43,742 m2 of swept area and a capacity factor of over 60 percent from the 115.5m blades, the V236-15.0 MW turbine will deliver industry-leading park performance for EnBW at He Dreiht.

“We are honoured to partner with EnBW in this conditional agreement for the He Dreiht wind project and provide our V236-15.0 MW turbine to help Germany achieve its ambitious offshore wind energy goals. This project highlights how Vestas plays a leading role in the rapid expansion of offshore wind by continuously striving to build stronger partnerships with our customers such as EnBW and providing the right solutions that enable them to deliver the ambitious projects needed to reach European offshore wind targets,” says Nils de Baar, President, Vestas Northern & Central Europe.

The company is also part of a conditional agreement with Cadeler for transporting and installing of the turbines for the He Dreiht project. The installation will commence in the second quarter of 2025 as per planning.

"Only with state-of-the-art and cost-efficient technology we can realise offshore projects like He Dreiht without subsidies. The turbines from Vestas make a significant contribution to this. Offshore is not only technically demanding, but also requires solid forward-looking forecasts, knowledge of the market and the willingness take entrepreneurial risks before a final investment decision has been made. As one of the pioneers in German offshore history, we would like to use He Dreiht to further contribute to making offshore wind energy available for the German market", says Michael Class, Head of Generation Portfolio Development, EnBW.
