Turbine manufacturer Vestas, latter the energy industry’s global partner on sustainable energy solutions, yesterday confirmed it had secured a 29MW order from Ørsted for the Danish companies Lisheen 3 project here in County Tipperary.
Vestas design, manufacture, install, and service wind turbines right across the globe, and with +136 GW of wind turbines in 84 countries, they currently are regarded as the world leaders in wind power manufacture.
The Ørsted order will include supply, installation and servicing of eight 3.45MW turbines, each ramped up to 3.6MW operation.
This will be the third phase of Vestas-supplied wind parks at the Lisheen Co. Tipperary location, following the installation of 36MW and the 24MW extensions already put in place.
Vestas will continue to repair the turbines through a 20-year long-term Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service contract, which will provide energy efficiency assurance and Vestas’ industry-leading service experience.
This third phase of the Lisheen project will continue to deliver on the target set in Ireland’s Climate Action Plan of achieving 70% of electricity from renewable sources by 2030.
Deliveries are expected to begin in the third quarter of 2022, while commissioning is expected start in the final quarter of 2022.
