In 2013,Nordex achieved a roughly 165 percent increase in new installations here.With a full-year output of 251 megawatts (MW), the Northern Germany-basedcompany was able to double its market share in this country to 8.4 percentagainst the backdrop of an expanding market in which industry-wide onshoreinstallations rose by a double-digit rate to almost 3,000 MW.This success was underpinned by the performance of the light-wind turbineN117/2400, which generated 75 percent of installation volume. ExplainsJürgen Zeschky: 'The N117/2400 is generating good sales figures, which arecontinuing to climb. With is high efficiency, we are able to rendernumerous light-wind locations economically viable and thus satisfy theGerman federal government's new requirements. What is more, we areregistering interest in wind turbines of this type in more and more marketsbeyond Germany.'
