V182-7.2 MW™

Designed to unlock more energy, strengthen project economics, and support greater certainty throughout the project lifecycle, the V182-7.2 MW™ reflects an evolution focused on where it creates the greatest impact.

Built on what works. Designed for what’s next.

V182-7.2 MW™ at a glance

As energy markets continue to evolve, value creation depends on more than energy production alone. The V182-7.2 MW™ is developed to address this reality, combining proven platform technology with targeted enhancements designed to strengthen project performance and increase certainty throughout the lifecycle.

Delivering 4-6 percent higher Annual Energy Production than the V172-7.2 MW, depending on site conditions, the V182-7.2 MW™ builds on the mature EnVentus™ platform to unlock more value from every project while maintaining the reliability of a proven architecture.

Evolution, not reinvention

Built on the proven EnVentus™ platform, the V182-7.2 MW™ introduces targeted enhancements designed to increase performance while reducing execution risk. Backed by more than 15 GW of installed EnVentus capacity and over 2,000 turbines operating globally, it combines platform maturity with the next evolution of energy production

Stronger project economics

A larger rotor and targeted drivetrain enhancements increase annual energy production while lowering the cost of energy. The result is stronger project returns, improved competitiveness, and increased value from every turbine installed.

Power that performs when it is needed the most

The larger rotor-to-rating ratio improves performance in lower wind speeds and shifts generation toward higher-value operating hours. The result is not only more energy, but energy delivered when it can create greater value in increasingly dynamic power markets.

It should be noted that results may vary significantly depending on the wind turbine configuration, wind climate (i.e. average wind speed, turbulence or air density) as well as the transport supply-chain. As such, a range of results is presented and they may vary from those shown.

V172-7.2 MW™

The V172-7.2 MW™, featuring three flexible ratings of 7.2 MW, 6.8 MW and 6.5 MW, strengthens performance in low to medium wind conditions with expanded site applicability. Sharing the same EnVentus nacelle architecture with the V162-7.2 MW™, the V172-7.2 MW™ offers flexibility in service and upgrades over the turbine’s operational lifetime.

V162-7.2 MW™

The V162-7.2 MW features flexible rating, designed to deliver optimised energy production even with greater temperature and climate variations. The EnVentus nacelle allows for expanded applicability regardless of geographical remoteness, providing use case flexibility throughout the operational lifetime.

V162-6.2 MW™

With a swept area of over 20,000m², the V162-6.2 MW™ applies the largest rotor size in the Vestas portfolio to achieve industry-leading energy production paired with a high capacity factor.
