22 Sep Vestas introduces the V182-7.2 MW turbine

(Oilandgaspress) 22/09/26 – Vestas is introducing the V182-7.2 MW to ensure customers can succeed in the evolving energy landscape. The V182-7.2 MW is built on the proven EnVentus platform to deliver enhanced energy production when it is needed the most. The demand for affordable, secure, and sustainable energy continues to grow in an uncertain world, where successful energy projects must deliver strong economics while performing reliably under grid constraints and volatile market conditions.

The V182-7.2 MW increases annual energy production (AEP) by up to six percent and lowers the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCoE) compared to the V172-7.2 MW depending on site conditions.

Equipped with a larger rotor while maintaining the same rating as its predecessor, the V182-7.2 MW features a larger rotor-to-rating ratio with a specific rating of 277 W/m2 which improves the turbine’s capacity factor by up to two percent compared to the V172-7.2 MW. This enables a greater share of power generation in lower wind speeds during periods when electricity prices are typically higher, improving capture prices by up to three percent, easing grid congestion and supporting stronger long-term returns for project owners and investors.

The V182-7.2 MW is globally applicable. It is particularly well suited for low-to-medium wind sites across Europe, Australia, South Africa as well as North and South America. However, with the EnVentus platform already installed in more than 25 countries, it is relevant across a much broader range of markets.
Built on the established EnVentus platform architecture, the V182-7.2 MW reinforces Vestas’ long term commitment to platform continuity. The EnVentus platform leverages proven system designs from Vestas’ 2 MW, 4 MW, and 9 MW technologies, combining certainty and innovation. With more than 15 GW of installed capacity globally, EnVentus provides a mature foundation for continued platform evolution through incremental enhancements that deliver customer value while maintaining operational certainty.
