Vestas has secured a conditional agreement to supply 112 V236-15.0 MW wind turbines for Vattenfall and Basf’s Nordlicht 1 and 2 offshore wind projects.

The customer has thus been named for the agreement, which was announced on June 13, Vestas writes in an update on Monday afternoon.

The contract also includes a five-year service and warranty agreement followed by an operational support agreement until the 30th year.

The Nordlicht wind farm is located 85 kilometers north of the island of Borkum in the German North Sea and consists of two separate locations.

Construction of Nordlicht 1 and 2 is scheduled to start in 2026. According to current planning, the Nordlicht 1 turbines will be installed in 2027 and the Nordlicht 2 turbines in 2028. The wind farms are expected to be fully operational in 2028, according to Vestas.

If and when the agreement with Vattenfall and Basf results in firm and unconditional orders for Vestas, the company will disclose this in accordance with the company’s disclosure policy, the turbine manufacturer states.
