Vestas has received a 56 MW order for the Banie lV project from Energix, the wind farm’s majority owner and wind project developer in Poland.
The contract covers the supply, construction, and commissioning of 16 V126-3.45 MW wind turbines with a 3.5 MW operating mode, as well as a 20-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM5000) service arrangement.

Vestas has already secured a further 1.2 GW of installation orders. This project highlights Vestas’ leadership role in Poland’s clean energy market and emerging wind industry.
“Based on our previous experience with Vestas, we highly value the product quality and reliability of Vestas’ V126 turbine variant and Vestas’ track record for on-time installations. We are pleased to further strengthen our relationship with Vestas as part of the and potentially for other projects of the Energix Group, in Poland and in other places”.
