First Look Solutions S.R.L., a subsidiary of Rezolv Energy, has placed a 269 MW order with Vestas to complete the second phase of Vifor wind farm in Buzau Country, Romania. Once both phases are fully operational, the Vifor project will become the largest wind farm in Romania and one of the largest onshore wind farms in Europe, with a total capacity of 461 MW.
The phase II order includes 42 V162-6.4 MW turbines of the EnVentus platform. Vestas will also provide long-term service for the project through a 15-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) agreement.
'We are delighted to contribute to Romania’s energy transition through the realisation of the country’s largest wind farm. Vestas continues to lead the market thanks to our strong local infrastructure, including five service hubs and a regional training center,' states Srdan Cenic, Vestas Mediterranean East General Manager.
Alastair Hammond, CEO, Rezolv Energy, said: 'Rezolv’s Vifor wind farm is an iconic project which is helping to position Romania at the forefront of Europe’s clean energy transition. From the start, the project has been designed to ensure the maximum possible reduction in emissions, and the 6.4 MW turbines from Vestas – the most powerful ever installed in Romania – will be crucial in delivering this impact.'
Turbine delivery for phase II is planned for the second half of 2026, with commissioning scheduled for the second half of 2027. Vifor phase I is currently under construction, with Vestas providing full engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) solutions, along with 30 V162-6.4 MW turbines.
Vestas has played a key role in advancing wind energy in Romania since entering the market in 2009. With nearly 2 GW of capacity either installed or under construction, Vestas is currently the leading wind OEM in the country. The company’s Eastern European regional headquarters is located in Bucharest and employs over 550 people across Romania, including a highly skilled team of service technicians supporting ongoing projects.
