News release from Vestas Northern & Central Europe
Hamburg, 30 June 2025
Vestas has secured an order from ENERTRAG for V172-7.2 WM wind turbines for two projects in Brandenburg, Germany, totalling 115 MW. It is the largest order of V172-7.2 MW turbines to date for Vestas.
Led by strong momentum in Germany, Vestas’ +7MW wind turbines, consisting of the V162-7.2 MW and V172-7.2 MW, has surpassed 1 GW of firm order intake in May 2025 with the first commercial installations of these wind turbines successfully completed.
“We’re thrilled to have closed these two projects with ENERTRAG, one of Germany’s leading and most innovative project developers”, says Jens Kück, Senior Vice President, NCE Sales Onshore. “Our partnership with ENERTRAG builds on a long-standing, trusted relationship and mirrors our strong strategic alignment and shared commitment to innovation.”
“With this order, we are realising two major wind projects in our home region of Brandenburg. Both projects will become part of the ENERTRAG Verbundkraftwerk, supporting our strategy for a secure and 100% renewable energy supply. Thanks to Vestas latest turbine technology, we can deliver more energy with fewer installations – strengthening regional supply and reducing land use. The projects will power around 85,000 households and cut over 200,000 tons of CO₂ annually. Together with Vestas, we are advancing performance, innovation and local benefit,” says Dr. Gunar Hering, CEO ENERTRAG.
The agreement is for the supply, installation, and commissioning of twelve V172-7.2 MW wind turbines for the 86 MW Malchow Ost project, and four wind turbines of the same type for the 29 MW Tantow 1 wind farm. Upon completion, Vestas will service the turbines under a 25-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement designed to ensure optimised performance of the assets.
Turbine delivery is expected to begin in the first half of 2027 with commissioning scheduled for completion in the second half of 2027.
