The two-and-a-half-year agreement covers testing of a range of "large-scale" nacelles at Lorc, under construction at the Lindø Industrial Park's former shipyard, with Vestas' new V164-8.0MW offshore machine expected to start trials next summer.

"We are extremely pleased to announce the agreement with Vestas for testing various types of nacelles. It gives us great reassurance to have our first customer in the house," says Lorc manager Ove Poulsen.
