Wind Energy – Vanguard East
Vestas has received a firm order for RWE’s 1,380 MW Vanguard East offshore wind project in the United Kingdom.
Vanguard East follows Vanguard West, which was confirmed as a firm order last month.
This new order further supports the UK’s advance toward its 2030 clean power targets while building crucial momentum for the wider energy transition across Europe.
The order includes 92 Vestas V236-15.0 MW wind turbines, with Vestas responsible for the supply, delivery, and commissioning of the turbines.
Upon completion, Vestas will also service the assets under a five-year comprehensive service agreement followed by a long-term operational support agreement.
The project site is located off the coast of Norfolk in East Anglia. RWE is currently targeting a Final Investment Decision (FID) for Vanguard East in the summer of 2026, with deliveries beginning in Q4 2028, and commissioning of the project expected in 2030.
