Vestas Wins 50 MW Order in Poland

Maintaining its leadership position in the Polish wind market, Vestas has secured a 50 MW order from Passat Energy Sp z o.o, a special purpose vehicle wholly owned by Iberdrola Renovables Internacional S.A.U., for the Korytnica II project in central Poland.

Korytnica II is an extension of the 83 MW Korytnica I project, which comprises 25 V126-3.3 MW Vestas turbines. The order adds to the more than 4 GW in orders secured by Vestas in Poland for turbine supply, an industry-leading tally.

At Korytnica II, Vestas will supply and install 14 of its V126-3.45 MW turbines in 3.6 MW operating mode at a hub height of 132 metres. The Korytnica II project will be serviced by Vestas under a long-term service agreement.

“We’re delighted to be selected to deliver our V126 turbines to the next phase of the Korytnica project, at Korytnica II,” said Richard Baylis, VP Sales East and Business Development at Vestas Northern & Central Europe. “This order is a show of confidence in Vestas’ turbine technology, as well as our team’s ability to deliver across construction and service throughout the lifetime of the project. With more than 4 GW in orders in Poland, Vestas is intent to continue facilitating the country’s transition to clean, reliable wind energy.”

Deliveries at Korytnica II are expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2022, while full commissioning is planned for beginning of 2023.

The project, which is located northeast of Warsaw, has been developed with support from Poland’s fourth Contracts for Difference (CfD) auction.
