The Netherlands: Vestas Signs Contract Extension for Eneco’s Prinses Amaliawindpark

Vestas has signed a 10-year extension of the service contract for Eneco’s wind power plant Prinses Amaliawindpark (PAWP) in the Netherlands. The contract has a total capacity of 120 MW comprising 60 units of the V80-2.0 MW wind turbine.

The contract is a 10-year service agreement extension with Vestas’ latest Active Output Management (AOM) 5000 service option. Consisting of scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, the AOM 5000 introduces an energy-based guarantee, which ensures the turbines are fully operational when the wind is blowing. Thus, Vestas guarantees the customer an energy-based availability through a challenging capture ratio of the available wind energy for each site covered minimising the wind power plants’ lost production.

“We are very pleased that Eneco has shown their satisfaction with our service the past five years by extending this contract with another 10 years,” comments Flemming Ougaard, Chief Operating Officer of Vestas Offshore, who continues: “We will continue to deliver at our best to consolidate this long-lasting partnership even more.”
