Vestas has announced firm orders totaling 239 MW across eight wind projects located in the Münster region in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The orders, which are part of Vestas' Q3 2025 intake, represent another significant step in supporting Germany's energy transition. The projects have been successfully developed by BBWind and their local partners for the individual projects, who supported the coordination and project management throughout the planning and execution phases.

BBWind is described as a German wind farm developer that consults on regional community wind projects.

EnVentus Platform Technology

The orders include Vestas' latest turbine technology from the EnVentus platform, featuring the V172-7.2 MW and V162-6.2 MW wind turbines, which are tailored to local site conditions. This demonstrates Vestas' ability to deliver flexible, high-performance solutions for customers' wind energy projects. Nils de Baar, Regional President for Vestas Northern and Central Europe, expressed pride in partnering with BBWind in their efforts to develop community-led wind farms in one of Germany's key regions for wind energy.

He stated that these projects underline how the EnVentus wind turbine technology is ideally suited to meet customer needs in the German wind market and will make a strong contribution to the country's rapidly growing energy transition.

Project Portfolio Details

The eight projects span various locations within North Rhine-Westphalia. The largest project is Hoetmar-Freckenhorst, which will feature 58 MW of capacity through 8 V172-7.2 MW turbines. The second-largest project, WMO Quantwick West und Ost, will have a capacity of 44 MW, utilizing 6 V162-6.2 MW turbines and 1 V172-7.2 MW turbine. Three projects, Energiepark Beckum, Sendenhorst Elmenhorst, and Oelde Wibberich, will each have a capacity of 22 MW, utilizing 3 V172-7.2 MW turbines.

Borken Weseke Ost will feature 36 MW through 5 V172-7.2 MW turbines, while Velen Dorenfeld will have 29 MW using 4 V172-7.2 MW turbines. The smallest project, Dorsten Hilgenböcken, will have a capacity of 7 MW with one V172-7.2 MW turbine.
