The deal for 15 of Vestas' V112-3.3MW model is the Danish wind turbine maker’s first order for the 3.3MW version of the offshore turbine.
The order includes supply, installation and commissioning of the wind turbines as well as a five-year service agreement. Vestas was named preferred supplier in 2012.
"We are pleased to have confirmed Vestas for turbine supply to Vattenfall’ s Kentish Flats Extension, particularly as Vestas and Vattenfall will work closely to maximise, where we can, contracting with the local supply chain in Kent for this significant investment," says Ole Bigum Nielsen, head of project execution at Vattenfall UK.
