First V164-9.5 MW Offshore Floating Wind Turbine Installed in a Project

MHI Vestas has already installed the first 9.5 MW V164 wind turbine, the most powerful wind turbine in use in a floating wind farm, at the installation port of the Kincardine offshore floating wind farm.

Today, MHI Vestas Offshore Wind (MHI Vestas) strengthened its leadership position in floating offshore wind, installing the largest and most powerful offshore wind turbine on a floating platform for the Kincardine offshore wind project.

Giant Offshore Wind Turbine

The first V164-9.5 MW wind turbine was installed on a WindFloat platform from Principle Power, the first of 5 units to be installed in the Kincardine project. This advancement in turbine rated capacity is a continuation of MHI Vestas’ world-leading floating wind credentials, including the recent installation of WindFloat Atlantic.

Kincardine, being developed by Cobra Group, is set to be the world’s largest floating wind farm in rated capacity.

4 Remaining Units of the Wind Farm

The five units of the wind power project will be installed about 15 km off the coast of Kincardineshire, in water depths ranging from 60m to 80m. This first 9.5 MW unit is expected to be anchored at the project site in December 2020.

“We are proud to have the most powerful wind turbines installed on a floating offshore wind platform,” said MHI Vestas Project Director, Allan Birk Wisby. “The V164-9.5 MW wind turbines are an excellent fit for the Kincardine project, and it is a significant achievement for the team to have completed the first installation at the quay. We look forward to completing the remaining 4 units.”

The Largest Offshore Wind Farm Ever Built

The Cobra Group stated: “This is an exciting world-leading project developed by Cobra Group. The Kincardine floating wind farm will be the largest ever built. The installation of the largest turbine ever placed on a floating foundation represents a major milestone for the project, and we are very eager to see it generating power on site very soon.”

Kincardine is expected to provide power to approximately 35,000 Scottish households.
