Bulgaria wind revival gathers pace as Vestas wins 70 MW turbine order

After years of limited activity that slowed wind development in Bulgaria, the sector is starting to regain momentum through a new turbine supply agreement. Vestas Wind Systems has been selected to provide equipment for a 70 MW wind project developed by Tessa Green Energy, a step that market participants view as important for restarting large-scale investment in the country.

Turbines for the Strazhitsa project

The order covers 11 EnVentus V162 turbines rated at 6.4 MW each, which will be installed at the Strazhitsa wind farm. Preparations for construction are already underway, with local firm DMT Prime also participating in the development. Company representatives said the installation is expected to become Bulgaria’s first major wind project in more than a decade.

Service support and timeline

Beyond turbine supply, the agreement between Vestas and Tessa Green Energy includes a long-term service contract designed to provide ongoing maintenance and operational support. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in early 2027, while commissioning is planned for mid-2027.

Why the contract matters

For Vestas, the contract represents a return to project activity in Bulgaria, where it has been present since 2007 and has installed more than 360 MW of capacity. For Tessa Green Energy, the partnership is positioned as a platform for regional expansion and an improved position within Bulgaria’s renewable energy market.

With construction preparations underway and a clear delivery and commissioning schedule set for 2027, the Strazhitsa project could serve as an early signal that stalled wind development may be moving back toward scale—an outcome investors will watch closely as Bulgaria weighs future renewables growth.
