The Targale project is located in Ventspils municipality in western Latvia, and will be powered by 14 V136-4.2 MW turbines at a hub height of 82m.
With only 65 MW of wind capacity currently installed in Latvia, this project is due to nearly double the total installed capacity in the country, as Latvia makes progress towards its target to procure 50 percent of energy from renewable energy sources by 2030. To support the country’s wind energy ambitions, Vestas has opened its first office in Latvia in April 2021.
Vestas will supply and install turbines and will provide service for the project through a long-term 20-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement, providing power performance certainty and Vestas’ industry-leading service expertise throughout the lifetime of the project.

Delivery will start in the second quarter of 2022, and commissioning will begin in the third quarter of the same year.
Latvia currently has 65MW of installed wind capacity and aims to procure 50% of energy from renewable sources by 2030.
Vestas has secured a 56MW order for the Banie lV project from Energix, the majority owner of the Polish wind farm.
The contract includes supply, installation and commissioning of 16 V126-3.45MW wind turbines with an operational mode of 3.5MW combined with a 20-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement.
The project, located in Banie in Western Pomerania, Poland, adds to the approximately 2.5GW of onshore wind turbines currently installed by Vestas in Poland.
Vestas has also secured a further 1.2GW of orders to be installed.
Energix chief executive Asa Levinger said: 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.
