Built on the V164 turbine platform, the V164-9.5 MW wind turbine was launched by MHI Vestas today, signalling the company’s aim to drive down the cost of energy for offshore wind.

The V164-9.5 MW is the most powerful serially-produced wind turbine in the world, the V164 platform’s massive 80-meter blades are already capturing wind energy off the coast of the UK.

Jens Tommerup CEO of MHI Vestas said:
“As a leader in the offshore wind industry, we are committed to lowering the cost of energy through innovative turbine technology. The launch of our V164-9.5 MW turbine is a testament to that leadership and to the ingenuity of our engineers and technicians. The V164-9.5 MW is built on the industry-leading V164 platform, the most powerful platform in operation. Just one single turbine is now capable of powering more than 8,300 UK homes.”

Torben Hvid Larsen Chief Technology Officer at MHI Vestas said:
“I’m very proud of our team for their hard work in launching our next generation turbine, the V164-9.5 MW. With only minimal design changes, including a redesigned gearbox and cooling system upgrades, this turbine continues the legacy of the proven V164 platform and is available now to all MHI Vestas customers.”
