RWE Orders 2.76 GW Of Offshore Wind Turbines At Vestas

The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on offshoreWIND.biz.

This is the sub-heading.

RWE has placed a firm wind turbine order with Vestas for its 1,380 MW Vanguard East offshore wind project in the UK, shortly after confirming a firm order for Vanguard West, which will have the same installed capacity.

These three paragraphs add more details.

For Vanguard East, Vestas will supply, deliver, and commission 92 of its V236-15.0 MW wind turbines, and will also be in charge of servicing them under a five-year service agreement, followed by a long-term operational support agreement.

RWE expects to make a final investment decision (FID) for both Vanguard East and Vanguard West in the summer of 2026, with wind turbine deliveries for Vanguard East to begin in the fourth quarter of 2028.

The commissioning of Vanguard West is expected in 2029, with Vanguard East following suit in 2030.

Note.

1. On the 23rd of February, 2026, RWE placed a similar order for Vanguard West with Vestas.
2. In Global Investor Joining RWE On Two Norfolk Vanguard Offshore Wind Projects, FID Expected in Summer, I describe how KKR are taking a stake in the two of the Norfolk Vanguard Offshore Wind Projects.

Things are looking good for RWE, Norfolk and wind power.
