Vestas Secures Orders for Scottish Wind Projects

Vestas has secured a major order from SSE Generation Limited for the Strathy South wind project in Scotland, involving the supply and installation of 35 V162-6.2 MW turbines, marking the first deployment of these turbines in the UK. Additionally, Vestas will supply and install 72 V236-15.0 MW turbines for the 1.1-GW Inch Cape offshore wind project, which is projected to generate over 5 TWh of renewable electricity annually and is set to become operational by 2027. Both projects demonstrate Vestas' commitment to supporting the UK’s renewable energy goals, particularly the government's target to quadruple offshore wind capacity by 2030. The Inch Cape project is a joint venture between ESB Energy and Red Rock Renewables, with installation expected to begin in 2026. Vestas is also transitioning its Isle of Wight facilities to manufacture onshore wind turbine blades, sustaining jobs and enhancing local production capabilities in response to increased demand following the lifting of the onshore wind ban in England. This shift illustrates Vestas' strategic focus on strengthening domestic supply chains and supporting the UK’s sustainable energy future.
