“We are delighted to achieve this key milestone in our collaboration with Invenergy,” said James Ian Robinson, Vestas' Country Manager and Director of Sales UK for Northern and Central Europe. “Vestas' technology offers a robust business case for the competitive UK electricity market. We look forward to delivering on our strong construction track record and thank Invenergy for entrusting Vestas with their largest wind park project in the UK.”
The Pencloe Wind Energy Centre represents a significant endeavor for Invenergy, serving as their largest development project in the United Kingdom. Stuart Winter, Vice President and Country Manager at Invenergy, emphasized the project's alignment with their mission to advance cleaner, more reliable, and affordable energy solutions while fostering positive community relationships and enhancing local economies.
