European Energy and Vestas have revealed their joint ambition to install Vestas’ flagship V236-15 MW offshore wind turbines off the city of Frederikshavn in Denmark.
The joint venture will aim at developing and constructing three of Vestas’ newest V236-15.0 MW offshore wind turbines at three of the five test positions that are currently under development by European Energy approximately four kilometers off the coast near the city of Frederikshavn.The wind turbines are expected to be constructed and put into operation in 2024. The intention behind the plan is to make the Danish city of Frederikshavn a global focal point for testing and demonstration of new offshore wind technology.
”We look forward to our cooperation with Vestas in turning the city of Frederikshavn into a focal point of future offshore wind turbine technology. If we succeed in constructing these wind turbines off the coast of Frederikshavn, Denmark will position itself as the global center not only of wind turbine development, but also regarding the testing of future offshore wind turbine technology,” Knud Erik Andersen, Chief Executive Officer of European Energy, said.
In February of last year, Vestas revealed its latest offshore wind turbine the V236-15.0 MW, and the company is currently producing the first prototype that is expected to be constructed in the Danish onshore test center Østerild later this year.
Being able to construct and test the wind turbines in an offshore environment near the city of Frederikshavn is seen by Vestas as an important milestone in the roll-out of the latest wind turbine technology. offshoreWIND.biz - link - the ever brilliant Adnan Durakovic - link - more like this (offshore) - link - more like this (Denmark) - link
