    Vestas receives 32 MW wind park extension order in Italy and passes 12 GW in global order intake for 2018

    Vestas has signed a 32 MW contract for the extension of the Ulassai wind park in Italy that takes Vestas’ global order intake in 2018 to 12,014 MW, clearly passing 2017’s record order intake of 11,176 MW. The 2018 order intake is based on announced orders in all four quarters of 2018 as well as unannounced orders in the first three quarters of the year. Unannounced MW of orders received in the fourth quarter of 2018 will be disclosed in the annual report in February 2019.

    The order is placed by Sardeolica S.r.L. and includes the supply and installation of nine V117-3.45 MW turbines delivered in 3.6 MW Power Optimised Mode, adding to the 48 V80-2.0 MW turbines already installed on the site. To accommodate the site’s specific wind conditions and maximise energy production, six of the new turbines will have a hub height of 91.5m whilst the other three will be 116.5m.

    With this new contract, the long-term partnership between Vestas and Sardeolica continues to evolve and now, totals 128 MW of wind projects in Italy.

    Mr Rainer Karan, General Manager of Vestas Mediterranean Eastern Cluster said that “This is Vestas’ first contract outside the auctions systems in Italy and therefore showcases, once again, the competitiveness and efficiency of wind energy. Since 2012, when the country held its first auction, Vestas has achieved more than 1 GW in order intake derived from auction-wins in Italy. In this regard, this new contract represents a great step on the country’s transition towards renewable energy and we are so proud to be part of this milestone.”

    Turbine delivery is planned for the second quarter of 2019 whilst commissioning is expected by the third quarter of the same year.

    Vestas receives 29 MW repower order from Denmark’s first energy auction

    Vestas has received a 29 MW repowering order from the Danish utility company NRGi Renewables A/S for the Tagmark wind park in Thisted Municipality in northwestern Jutland, Denmark. The repowering project is derived from Denmark’s first energy-neutral auction held in November 2018.

    The site currently consists of six V66-1.75 MW turbines, which will be replaced by eight V117-3.45 MW turbines delivered in 3.6 MW Power Optimised Mode that will more than double the annual energy production due to more efficient turbines. The project thus underlines Denmark’s large repowering potential from replacing older turbines with new and more efficient variants.

    Mr Jakob Bundgaard, CEO of NRGi Renewables A/S said that “Our strong partnership with Vestas on this project has enabled us to deliver the most competitive bid in Denmark’s first energy-neutral auction, which marks a significant milestone in Denmark’s green transition as it highlights that renewable energy projects are soon possible without any state subsidies.”

    The project is firmly rooted in the community, as the local owners of the current turbines will be part owners of the new project and 20 percent of the new wind park will be sold in shares to nearest neighbours.

    Christer Baden Hansen, Vestas Head of Sales Nordics said that “To partner with NRGI on this repowering project, which is derived from Denmark’s first energy-neutral auction, highlights onshore wind energy offers the lowest cost of energy and Denmark’s repowering potential. Denmark continues to be an important market for Vestas and the strong local commitment to this project underlines wind energy’s benefits for both our climate and the community.”

    Deliveries are expected to begin in the third quarter of 2019, while commissioning is planned for the fourth quarter of 2019.

    Wind turbine catches fire in Danish New Year storm

    Clean Technica reported that since New Years Eve, it’s been quite windy in Denmark, and of the +6000 wind turbines in the country one of them apparently had to succumb to the pressure after many years of service. TV2 TVMV.dk reports (with video) that the turbine caught fire on Tuesday afternoon, and that the fire subsequently spread to a farm below. Nobody lives on the farm, but it is still in use for livestock and between 30 and 40 bull calves were in the buildings.

    Mr Lars Stensbjerg, who is the leader of Fire and Rescue MidtVest said that “The turbine stands where just below there is a two-sided farm with these bull calves. The wings have fallen into the building, and the barn has caught fire, which we have tried to control.”

    According to Vestas press officer Anders Riis, it’s an old turbine. “When the fire has stopped, we will initiate a study of what may be the cause of the fire,” he said to TV2 TVMV.dk.

    With the address given I found according to thewindpower.net, this must be the turbine in question: “Commissioning: 1993/03 by Vestas. Hub height: 30 m. Total nominal power: 300 kW. Dismantled (2010/05).” That last bit of information is puzzling. Maybe at was decommissioned and replaced or maybe it was just standing there and the brakes wore out and made it spin again causing the fire? While accidents with wind turbines are indeed spectacular, let’s also keep in mind that they are very rare.

    One year ago we reported that Denmark had a record wind energy year in 2017 and it will be interesting to see if 2018 will beat that. Also, as turbines get larger, they get lower in numbers. In fact, if the current +6000 turbines in Denmark keep getting updated, it could easily mean a doubling of nameplate capacity with a third of turbines, and many new turbines are going to be off-shore in the future. So, accidents will probably be even more rare.

    Nordex supplies 27 large turbines to France

    The Nordex Group is further expanding its market position in France with orders worth more than 84 MW received in the fourth quarter 2018. As of summer, the company will be delivering 27 turbines for four wind farms to different customers. For its long-standing customer EDF Renewables the Nordex Group is setting up the "Pays d’Anglure" wind farm with six N131/3600 turbines. The customer Eurowatt for the windfarm “Parc du Rio” also has ordered five turbines of this type, as well as one N100/3300.

    Another customer is the French wind farm developer JP Energie Environnement, for which Nordex will be installing two N131/3000 and four N131/3600 turbines for the "Brinay" wind farm. And yet another customer, Valorem, has ordered nine N117/2400 machines for the "Reuilly Diou" wind farm. All these projects also include a service agreement covering several years.

    "Pays d’Anglure" is the third wind farm to be built by EDF Renewables together with Nordex. The "Brinay" wind farm is located in the Département Cher in the centre of the country. One condition for being awarded this order was strict adherence to the maximum sound levels at this noise-critical site. And the "Reuilly Diou" wind farm marks the second order placed by Valorem this year for Nordex turbines.

    Mr Patxi Landa, CSO of Nordex SE said that "We are pleased to note that we continue to do well in France. Furthermore, the orders show that we are able to adapt our products well to the demanding requirements set by the local authorities – such as compliance with maximum noise levels.”

    Vestas becomes the first company to install 100 GW of wind turbines

    Vestas has been a pioneer in wind energy solutions and a cornerstone in making the world’s energy mix sustainable. In late 2018, a new milestone was reached in that 40-year journey, as Vestas achieved 100 GW of installed wind turbines with the installation of a V110-2.0 MW turbine at MidAmerican Energy’s Wind XI project in Iowa, US.

    Since the inaugural installation of a V10-30 kW turbine in Denmark in 1979, Vestas has installed over 66,000 turbines in around 80 countries across six continents and been a key part of taking wind energy from niche to mainstream. Today, Vestas’ largest onshore wind turbine is the V150-4.2 MW turbine, and the 100 GW milestone has thus been made possible by the continuous evolution of our wind energy technology and solutions, which have seen output and efficiency increase to a level that has made wind energy the cheapest form of electricity in many markets.

    Mr Anders Runevad, Vestas President and CEO said that “We have pioneered wind energy across the globe for 40 years, and to install 100 GW together with our customers and partners is something we are extremely proud of as it underlines how far Vestas and wind energy have come. It’s also a pleasure to celebrate this milestone with a key customer like MidAmerican Energy. Reaching this milestone has required continuous innovation, strong commitment and great execution from all Vestas’ employees, and the 100 GW therefore represents a key part of the foundation that enables us to develop the sustainable energy solutions of the future”.

    During the journey to 100 GW, Vestas has helped remove over a hundred million tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere by providing sustainable and cost-effective solutions to meet the world’s energy demand. By crossing this 100 GW threshold, Vestas has installed approximately 10 percent of the world’s total 1 TW of installed wind and solar energy capacity1.

    The capacity of the Wind XI project will grow to up to 2,000 MW and consist of multiple sites in Iowa placed into service between 2017 and 2019. Powered by V110-2.0 MW turbines built at Vestas’ factories in Colorado, Wind XI will deliver clean, low-cost wind energy to MidAmerican Energy’s customers and communities. Vestas will provide operations and maintenance for Wind XI project sites via long-term AOM 5000 service agreements.

    Senvion in Q4 secures healthy order book for 2019

    Senvion announced turbine order intake of EUR 1.52 billion in 2018, on the back of a healthy order intake in Q4. In comparison, the total order intake and the onshore order intake was EUR 1.78 billion and EUR 1.47 billion respectively in 2017. The total order intake by capacity grew to 2,011 MW in 2018 - an increase of 16% yoy including 31% growth yoy recorded in onshore order intake growth by capacity. In addition to the firm order intake, Senvion also recorded over 500 MW of conditional orders in Q4.

    Senvion built healthy order momentum, especially in the fourth quarter 2018 and secured EUR 514 million of order intake, which is 146% higher than the order intake recorded in the third quarter of 2018. The 2018 combined order intake from new markets amounted EUR 1,024m, which is 67% of the total turbine order intake for the company. In addition, Senvion booked several large-scale conditional contracts in key growth markets across Latin America, India and Australia and re-entered Spain and the US with more than 500 MW conditional orders in those two markets alone. The company also established itself as an important market player in India with a total order book of over 1 GW of which nearly 75% is already booked as firm. The signing of the 340 MW conditional order in Chile in December is an important milestone for the market, positioning the newly launched 4.2 turbine series and is one of the largest orders in the history of the company.

    The installations picked-up in the fourth quarter 2018 and reached about 458 MW. Even with some installation delays in Latin America and Australia, this is 36% higher than the third quarter. As a result, the total installations in 2018 reached about 1.1 GW.

    Mr David Hardy, Executive Director and CSO of Senvion, said that "We are glad to confirm that order intake and installations have shown a strong pick-up in the fourth quarter 2018. It has been a challenging year and we are proud that Senvion could prove its operations are capable of successfully managing that high level of installations - we have built-up a solid basis for the execution of the growing order book for 2019."

    Senvion will report its full annual results on March 14, 2019.

    AMSTERDAM (AFN/BLOOMBERG) - Het voornemen van Shell en PGGM om gezamenlijk een bod te doen op Eneco, is positief voor de ontwikkeling van windparken op zee. Dat schrijven analisten van NIBC. Mocht het bod slagen, dan kan Eneco veel meer investeren in hernieuwbare energie op zowel de korte als langere termijn. Bedrijven als Boskalis, Fugro en SIF zouden daarvan kunnen profiteren.

    Ook marktvorsers van ING zien de investeringen bij Eneco toenemen als Shell en PGGM het energiebedrijf zouden overnemen. Ze noemen het geen verrassing dat Shell interesse toont in Eneco. Het olie- en gasbedrijf voert de investeringen in hernieuwbare energie al een tijdje op en is bezig om meer marktaandeel in elektriciteitsopwekking en -distributie te verkrijgen.

    ING geeft de combinatie een goede kans om de veiling voor Eneco te winnen. Er wordt weliswaar de nodige concurrentie verwacht van bedrijven en investeringsmaatschappijen, maar het olie- en gasbedrijf en de pensioenuitvoerder kunnen de Nederlandse kaart spelen. Bovendien kan Eneco dan gebruik maken van kennis en distributienetwerken van Shell.

    ING hanteert een hold-advies voor Shell met een koersdoel van 30 euro. Het aandeel Shell stond dinsdag rond 10.15 uur 0,3 procent hoger op 26,41 euro.

This new location offers room for our new employees. Meanwhile, we now have over 100 employees in our Belgian branch.”

    MHI Vestas Offshore Wind is already an established company in the offshore wind industry at the port facility. The MHI Vestas turbines in current Belgian wind farms are operated by Parkwind: Northwind (72 turbines), Belwind (55 turbines) and Nobelwind (50 turbines). There are 44 wind turbines scheduled to be built in early 2019 at the Norther wind farm and Northwester II is planned for later in 2019, with a further 23 turbines of no less than 9.5 MW. MHI Vestas will monitor and maintain 244 wind turbines of different production capacities from the Port of Oostende by 2020.

    The Port of Oostende has taken care of the full investment of EUR 2 million. The total building has a capacity of 1300 m² office space and an extra 1000 m² of offices. The architect of the building and the traffic development plan is MOP Urban Design. The studies were carried out by COBE (stability) and Istema (techniques). The main contractor is Alheembouw from Oostnieuwkerke with the most important subcontractors: Van Vooren (electricity) and SPIE (HVAC).

    Mr Dirk Declerck, CEO of Haven Oostende said that “We proactively contribute to the expansion of the offshore wind business in our port.

    PKN ORLEN a step closer to building an off-shore wind farm in the Baltic Sea

    An ORLEN Group company Baltic Power is about to commence surveys to assess the environmental impacts and wind conditions within its off-shore wind farm licence area in the Baltic Sea. To that end, an agreement was signed with a consortium comprising MEWO SA and the Maritime Institute of Gda?sk, with a view to obtaining an environmental permit for the project and determining the production potential of the planned off-shore wind farm.

    Renewable energy sources will continue to gain prominence, and we cannot afford to miss out on this opportunity for sustainable development. Therefore, we made low-emission energy generation a priority in our updated strategy. Mr Daniel Obajtek, President of the PKN ORLEN Management Board said that “The agreement to conduct environmental and wind surveys is another step in our preparations for the construction of an off-shore wind project in the Baltic Sea.”

    Already in May 2018 PKN ORLEN assembled a team of specialists to prepare and implement a project to develop a concept design for an off-shore wind farm to be built in the Baltic Sea. The project’s total capacity may reach as much as 1,200 MW.

    Preparations for the construction of off-shore wind farms are among PKN ORLEN’s strategic development directions for the coming years. The company is Poland’s fourth-largest electricity producer and its assets, including the two CCGT units in P?ock and W?oc?awek, would be a good backup power source for the wind farms in case of power shortages.

    Restrictions on steel imports could jeopardize the EU’s 2030 renewables target - WindEurope

    EU countries will discuss tomorrow a proposal from the European Commission on protective measures on steel imports to the EU. The EU will then vote on the measures, which aim to restrict steel imports from third countries to the EU until July 2021. WindEurope CEO Giles Dickson said “It’s good the Commission have opted for an annual increase in the steel import volumes. But 5% is very low: we expect demand for steel in offshore wind alone to rise by 36% in 2019. It’s in nobody’s interest for access to steel volumes to turn into a scramble for raw materials with other sectors like we’re all chasing seats in musical chairs. Not least when our own sector has binding EU renewables targets it’s got to help meet. If we have to pay tariffs on our steel imports the price of wind energy will increase. Steel makes up over half the material used in wind turbine production. Tariffs could add 18% to the price of turbines. This would offset the cost reductions we’ve achieved in recent years. And mean achieving the EU’s 32% renewable energy target for 2030 will cost society more than is necessary. And it would put European turbine manufacturers at a disadvantage to Chinese competitors that source domestic steel at much lower prices. We call on European countries and the Commission to agree a higher annual rate of increase in non-tariff volumes than the proposed 5% when they vote on Friday.”

    Steel import restrictions to the EU come as a response to similar measures adopted by the Trump Administration in March 2018. The European Commission applied a first set of safeguard measures in July 2018 to shield the European steel industry from trade deflection from the US. The provisional measures were designed as a global tariff-rate quota. This meant 25% duties on steel imports apply once the EU exceeds conservative predefined steel import volumes. The revised safeguard measures will now mean import volumes per steel category will increase by just 5% every year until 2021. Import volumes will be set based on a mixed system of global and country-specific tariff-rate quotas.

    Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy strengthened its focus on sustainability and set a milestone by being the first company in Spain to arrange a guarantee line that qualifies as 'green' due to contributing to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. In a deal arranged with BBVA, Siemens Gamesa converted a EUR 900 million guarantee line into a 'green' transaction and will use it to support its business of manufacturing and selling onshore and offshore wind turbines worldwide, with an impact on the Sustainable Development Goals relating to "Affordable and clean energy" and "Climate action". This line is the first deal to be arranged under BBVA's new sustainable transactional product linked to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, focusing on green, social or sustainable transactions.

    Mr David Mesonero, CFO of Siemens Gamesa said that "I am particularly proud of our company's commitment to combating climate change by generating clean, sustainable energy for the planet. At Siemens Gamesa, we are focused on being ever more sustainable across the board, and this deal is another step in that direction.”

    The close to 90 GW of wind capacity installed by Siemens Gamesa worldwide reduces CO? emissions by more than 233 million tons per year. The company also supports global climate protection goals and has adopted the global initiative to decarbonise economies. Siemens Gamesa has undertaken to be carbon-neutral by 2025, by replacing conventional emission-intensive power sources with renewable energies in its operations.

    Order intake 4th quarter 2018
    In the fourth quarter of 2018 Nordex customers ordered wind turbines with a volume of 1,679 MW. A large number, approx. 40 percent, were accounted for by the newly launched N149/4.0-4.5 turbine from the Delta4000 series. For instance, in the case of the large Swedish project Nysäter, 104 turbines of this type – as well as other models - are to be used. Further N149 turbines were sold to Finland, Turkey and Germany.

    In addition to this, the Nordex Group received the first large-scale order in India with 100 of the new AW140/3000 turbines.

    Mr José Luis Blanco CEO Nordex SE said that “The high customer response to the newly introduced wind turbines N149/4.0-4.5 and AW140/3000 shows that the highly efficient turbines exactly meet the requirements of our customers. New orders with regular customers are always good proof that products, team and performance are right.”
