Wind turbine maker Senvion has inked a deal with Vattenfall to supply 16 of its 3.4-megawatt turbines to the Ray Wind Farm in the UK.
Located on the Ray Estate near Kirkwhelpington in Northumberland, Ray Wind Farm will have a total rated output of 54.4MW and will produce enough electricity to power more than 30,000 homes each year.
Ray Wind Farm is the first project that Senvion has signed with Vattenfall in the UK using the 3.XM platform. The first turbine installations are scheduled for July 2016.
“Following our successful partnership on the Clashindarroch wind farm, we are delighted to once more be working in partnership with Vattenfall in the UK,” said Raymond Gilfedder, Managing Director of Senvion Northern Europe. “I am very pleased that Vattenfall have again placed their confidence and trust in us to deliver.”
