Realise strengthens links with Vestas Pre-owned Turbine Supply

Realise Energy Services’ MD, Sheridan Jenkins, visited the Vestas Northern Europe HQ in Videbaek, Denmark earlier this week to discuss ongoing turbine supply for the current NI repowering and GB replacement markets together with advanced technical training for Realise’s engineers. As an authorised supply partner of Vestas, Realise supplies, installs and maintains pre-owned Vestas turbines ranging from their medium wind V27-V52 models up to their larger 2MW V80 and V90 machines. With a number of turbines already sourced from Vestas over recent years and growing demand for pre-owned turbines, the trip provided an ideal opportunity to develop the partnership further. Vestas have decided to develop their pre-owned offering to support the growing market. All turbines are fully refurbished and come with a full warranty and associated O+M contract. A big thank you to Vestas for hosting the trip and a tour of a very professional and impressive facility.
