Vestas has received a 93 MW order from SR Energy AB, a long-term customer, to power the Älgkullen wind project in Sweden. The order includes a total of 15 V162-6.2 MW wind turbines at a hub height of 119m.

The order includes supply, installation, and commissioning of the turbines, as well as a 35-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement, designed to ensure optimised performance of the asset.

“We are proud to yet again be trusted to deliver turbines to SR Energy AB, with whom we share a long partnership. The long-term service agreement also reflects both parties’ long-term commitment with each other," says Juan Furones, Vice President Sales for Northern and Central Europe at Vestas. " This order also underlines the versatility and strong performance of the EnVentus platform technology, Vestas’ next generation in the evolution of wind turbines, and demonstrates its applicability to the Swedish market."

“We are very much looking forward to start the construction of windfarm Älgkullen. With its 93 MW it will be a much needed contribution of renewable energy in southern Sweden. The partnership with Vestas guarantees high ambitions regarding the long-term efficiency of the project,” says Peter Zachrisson, CEO of SR Energy AB.

Turbine delivery begins in the second quarter of 2024 with commissioning scheduled in the fourth quarter of 2024.

The wind project site is located in Smedjebackens municipality.
