Vestas has received a 56MW order from Statkraft Ireland for nine V162-6.2 MW wind turbines for the Cushaling wind project.
Kevin O’Donovan, Managing Director of Statkraft Ireland, said: “We are delighted that the installation of the V162-6.2 MW turbine in Cushaling Wind Farm will be a first for the island of Ireland. These will be the largest turbines to be used in any wind project in the country and Cushaling will be the site of the first Vestas V162”.
The delivery and installation of the wind turbines are expected to occur in the first quarter of 2024 with the commissioning scheduled for the second quarter of 2024.
