Vestas has secured three new turbine orders in Germany, totaling 84 megawatts (MW), further solidifying its position in the global wind energy market. The orders, for its 7+MW onshore wind turbine variants, have helped the company surpass the 1 gigawatt (GW) mark for firm order intake for these turbine models.
The largest of the orders comes from WWS Projektbau GmbH & Co. KG, which has placed an order for three V172-7.2MW turbines for the 22MW Weisendorf wind project. Delivery is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026. Vestas has also received an order from Berliner Stadtwerke GmbH for the Bernau Albertshof 2 wind farm, where it will supply two V172-7.2MW turbines, contributing 14MW to the project.
Additionally, ABO Energy has ordered 48MW of Vestas’ V150-6.0 turbines for the Schierenberg wind project, with installation and commissioning planned for 2026. All three orders include a 20-year service agreement, ensuring long-term operational support for the wind farms.
With the first two orders, Vestas has now surpassed 1GW in firm orders for its 7+MW turbine variants, including both the V172-7.2MW and V162-7.2MW models. “We are delighted to celebrate this 1GW order intake milestone for our 7+MW wind turbine variants,” said Jens Kück, senior vice president for NCE sales onshore at Vestas. “It shows that these variants have evolved into our customers’ preferred choice, especially in Germany.”
Kück added, “Leveraging the modular design approach of the proven EnVentus platform, our 7+MW variants offer efficient energy production and a great business case in low to medium wind conditions.”
Vestas’ 7+MW turbines, including prototypes for the V162-7.2MW (commissioned in 2023) and V172-7.2MW (commissioned in 2024), have demonstrated strong performance in field tests across Denmark and Germany. Since launching the EnVentus platform in 2019, Vestas has secured more than 19GW of firm orders and has installed over 10GW of EnVentus wind turbines across 28 markets.
The new orders underscore the growing demand for Vestas’ high-capacity turbines, particularly in Germany, where the company continues to see strong customer preference for its 7+MW variants.
