Australian-based Palisade Investment Partners Limited (Palisade)
has placed a 112 MW turnkey order with Vestas for the Granville
Harbour Wind Farm in Tasmania, Australia. Vestas has developed a
solution with Palisade that is customised to Tasmania’s excellent
wind conditions, and that will provide low-cost renewable energy
that can power more than 46,000 local homes. The project supports
both Tasmania’s ambitious target to be self-sufficient with
renewable energy and Tasmania’s role within the National
Electricity Market as a key source of renewable energy to mainland
Australia.
Leveraging Vestas’ extensive experience from more than 100
turnkey projects globally, the order includes civil and electrical
works, supply and commissioning of 31 V126-3.6 MW turbines as well
as a 25-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service
agreement. With its 137-meter-tall towers, the project will host
the tallest turbines in Tasmania, which will maximise annual energy
production, reduce the cost of energy and deliver the best business
case for Palisade.
“Vestas is a trusted partner with a proven track record in the
market”, said Roger Lloyd, Palisade Managing Director and CEO,
“they offer the optimal product for the project, and a service
solution at a competitive cost of energy”.
“Our local experience and extensive project and product
expertise has been key in securing this order. Together with
Palisade we have found the perfect solution for the Granville
Harbour project, which is Vestas’ fifth project in Tasmania. This
project underlines how Vestas, as the dominant renewable energy
player in the state, supports the government’s ambitious goal to
make Tasmania self-sufficient on renewable energy by 2022”, said
Vestas Asia Pacific President Clive Turton.
The 25-year AOM 5000 service agreement is a full-scope service
package to maximise energy production for the lifetime of the
project. With a yield-based availability guarantee, Vestas will
provide the customer with long-term business case certainty.
Commercial operations at Granville Harbour are scheduled to
commence in the fourth quarter of 2019.
The project was initially developed by Westcoast Wind, who
undertook long-term wind monitoring at the Granville Harbour site
and secured necessary local, state and federal planning approvals.
Palisade acquired 100 percent of Westcoast Wind in February
2018.
