Vestas has secured an order for its V162-7.2 MW turbine variant for the 65 MW Kloddram wind project in Germany. The wind turbine manufacturer will deliver the order as soon as Q4 2026. This leaves close to a one year window period before the Kloddram wind project in Germany gets commissioned in Q2 2027. The order, placed by Lindenhof GmbH, also includes a 20-year service agreement with the Danish-based global energy industry player.

Vestas’ Turbines Order for Germany’s Kloddram Wind Project
The V162-7.2 MW turbines of Vestas’ EnVentus platform will deliver a cumulative of 65 MW to the Kloddram wind project in Germany once commissioned by end of 2027.
They are designed for high energy production in low to medium wind conditions. This proves vital even with the specific windfarm location still undisclosed. With the specific location in the EMEA business region still in the dark, the turbines also come with a modular design for adaptability. This allows them to function efficiently across various regions and project requirements.
More On The Project
The 20-year service contract will include optimization of turbine performance, alongside ensuring their long-term reliability.
The project is testament to Germany’s ongoing commitment to expanding its renewable energy portfolio. Once completed by end of 2027, the Kloddram Windpark Project will mark another step towards the transition from fossil fuels. Especially so, as Germany’s efforts only come concerted with other European countries.
Vestas’ Play
Currently, Vestas has a portfolio of over 189 GW in both onshore and offshore wind energy projects globally. This capacity spans 88 countries. According to the wind turbines manufacturer and installer, “we [Vestas] have installed more wind power than anyone else”. The company also boasts one of the largest wind turbine variants in the world, the Vestas V236-15.0 MW.
