In March, the company supplied wind turbines for the first phase of the project, which has 126MW of capacity.
Vestas Northern and Central Europe president Nils de Baar said: “Securing the 372MW [of capacity] in the second phase of the Tiligul project is an important step for Vestas to take in applying our EnVentus platform in Ukraine.
“We’re delighted to continue our partnership with DTEK Renewables in delivering one of the most ambitious projects in Ukraine.
“Both phases of the Tiligul project are revolutionising onshore wind in Ukraine with the implementation of industry-leading technology through our EnVentus platform.”

Last month, Vestas agreed to supply turbines for Brazilian firm Omega Energia’s Assuruá Four project in Bahia, Brazil.
Vestas will supply 47 V150-4.2MW turbines for the 212MW project, which is located in the cities of Gentio do Ouro and Xique-Xique. The turbines will be delivered in their 4.5MW power-optimised mode.
