V117-3.45 MW®

4 MW brochure

The V117-3.45 MW® is a solid choice for medium and high wind sites with high turbulence.

V117-3.45 MW® at a glance

On high wind-sites the V105-3.45 MW™, V112-3.45 MW® and V117-3.45 MW® are excellent turbine choices. A combination of the three variants can optimise your site layout and improve your production significantly. 

Due to the similar electrical properties, sound emissions and nacelle design, it is easy to mix and match the turbines from the 4 MW platform to maximise production on heavily constrained sites.

4 MW

The Vestas 4 MW platform sets new standards for onshore wind performance within regimes ranging from very strong wind and typhoon conditions to low wind.

IEC IB/IEC IIA

It is vital finding the right turbine for your wind site. The V117-3.45 MW™ IEC IB/IEC IIA is designed for medium- and high-wind sites.

+74 GW

The performance and versatility of the 4 MW platform has been proven with more than 74 GW installed in 59 countries since 2010.
