Vestas has secured its first US offshore wind contract with Equinor for the 810 MW Empire Wind 1 project in New York. The order includes the supply, delivery, and commissioning of the turbines, along with a comprehensive five-year service agreement to ensure optimal performance and long-term support.

This deal involves 54 V236-15.0 MW turbines and marks Vestas’ initial entry into the US offshore market. The V236-15.0 MW turbine boasts type certification for safety and quality. Since its introduction, Vestas has secured over 13 GW of orders and preferred supplier agreements globally.

In July 2024, Vestas secured an order from Oranje Wind in the Netherlands to provide 53 V236-15.0 MW turbines for the Oranje Wind offshore wind project. This initiative, a 50/50 venture between RWE and Total Energies, has a total capacity of 795 MW and a grid connection capacity of 760 MW, with an extra 35 MW to enhance efficiency during periods of lower output.
