Vestas Launches Next Generation Offshore Turbine

published: 2011-03-31 15:28

onference in London at 12.30 local time Vestas reveals the details of its next generation offshore turbine. Instead of the previously communicated capacity of 6.0 MW, the turbine will have a capacity of 7.0 MW and a rotor diameter of 164 metres.

Construction of the first V164-7.0 MW prototypes is expected in Q4 2012. Serial production is set to begin in Q1 2015 provided a firm order backlog is in place to justify the substantial investment needed to develop the new production and assembly facilities required for a turbine of this size.

Further details of the new turbine will be uploaded to vestas.com immediately after the press meeting.
