Customised tower solution secures Vestas’ largest order in Serbia

Hamburg, 12 July 2018
Long-term customer MK Fintel Wind a.d. Beograd
has placed an order for 20 V126-3.45 MW turbines for the 69 MW
Kosava I wind park in Serbia. To accommodate the site’s specific
wind conditions and maximise energy production while meeting the
site’s tip height constraints, Vestas developed a solution with
site-specific towers.
Vestas has been active in Serbia since 2008 and
the Kosava I project is Vestas’ third project with MK Fintel in
Serbia. The two previous wind parks MK Fintel and Vestas have
partnered on, the Kula and La Piccolina wind parks, were the
country’s first operating wind power plants.
“Kosava Phase I is to date our biggest single
wind development and it is also the third project in a row with
Vestas. We look forward to complete it and immediately start
working on Kosava Phase II and on the many other projects of our
ambitious pipeline in the Balkans and in Russia, hopefully
consolidating our partnership with Vestas,” states Tiziano
Giovannetti, CEO of MK Fintel.
“The key to this project was our capability to
develop a site-specific solution using tailored towers. With the
largest order to date between MK Fintel and Vestas in Serbia, we
are delighted to reaffirm our strong and long-standing
relationship,” says Nils de Baar, President of Vestas Northern and
Central Europe.
The contract includes supply, installation and
commissioning of the wind turbines, as well as a 12-year Active
Output Management 4000 (AOM 4000) service agreement. Delivery of
the wind turbines is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of
2018, while commissioning is expected in the first quarter of
2019.
