Vestas said on Monday it has received its largest order to date for its new 7+ megawatt (MW) EnVentus platform, with German renewables developer Enertrag placing a 115MW order for two wind energy projects in Brandenburg.
The agreement includes 16 of Vestas’ V172-7.2MW turbines, part of the company’s latest generation of high-capacity models. Twelve turbines will be installed at the 86MW Malchow Ost wind project, while four will be deployed at the 29MW Tantow 1 site.
“We’re thrilled to have closed these two projects with Enertrag, one of Germany’s leading and most innovative project developers,” said Jens Kück, senior vice president of onshore sales for Northern and Central Europe at Vestas. “Our partnership with Enertrag builds on a long-standing, trusted relationship and mirrors our strong strategic alignment and shared commitment to innovation.
The order includes the supply, installation and commissioning of the turbines, with deliveries expected to begin in the first half of 2027. Commissioning is scheduled to be completed in the second half of that year.
Vestas will also provide long-term maintenance services under a 25-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) agreement, designed to optimise turbine performance over the project lifespan.
Enertrag chief executive Gunar Hering said the projects support the company’s goal of advancing clean energy in its home region. “With this order, we are realising two major wind projects in our home region of Brandenburg, Hering said. “Thanks to Vestas’ latest turbine technology, we can deliver more energy with fewer installations – strengthening regional supply and reducing land use.
Vestas reported that its 7+MW EnVentus turbine series, including both the V162-7.2MW and V172-7.2MW models, surpassed 1GW of firm orders in May 2025, reflecting growing demand in Germany and across Europe.
The two Brandenburg projects are expected to generate enough electricity to power approximately 85,000 households and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by more than 200,000 tonnes annually.
