DONG Energy and Vestas have announced the signing of a letter of intent regarding test of the new V164-7.0 MW turbine.

DONG Energy will perform a design review of the new V164-7.0 MW next generation offshore turbine.

Additionally it is the intention that one or more V164-7.0 MW turbines could be installed at one of DONG Energy’s test sites for research and demonstration purposes and as such will allow DONG Energy to potentially be one of the very first customers to acquire this next generation Vestas turbine for a future commercial offshore project.

The V164-7.0 MW is a dedicated offshore turbine designed specifically for the harsh conditions in the Northern European waters.
