The asset will stretch 280 metres into the air with blades 115.5 metres long and have an output of 80 GWh per year.
The 15-MW prototype turbine will be installed in H2 2022, with commissioning planned in Q4 2022.
“Getting the prototype turbine in the ground will underline how the V236-15.0 MW will raise the bar in terms of technological innovation, industrialisation and scale in the wind energy industry,” said Anders Nielsen, chief technology officer at Vestas Wind Systems.
