Together with its project partner H2air, Nordex hasofficially opened its largest wind farm in France to date. The 75-megawatt"Seine River Gauche Nord" ("SRN") project is something of a trendsetter forthe French energy market in view of the targets set by the Frenchgovernment for extending the use renewables: by 2020 the share ofrenewables in the power supply is to increase to 23 percent and to as muchas 32 percent by 2030."France is a market with great potential for the future. With our 'SRN'project we have once again demonstrated that we are well able to meet therequirements of this market, in which we have been operating for more than15 years. Our local partners in France now know that thanks to ourexperience we can also implement even the most complex projects with them,"says Nordex CEO Lars Bondo Krogsgaard.Nordex completely developed "SRN" together with H2air and has set it up ona turnkey basis for the investor KGAL Investment Management. In addition tocivil engineering work and connection to the grid including a privatesubstation, this also involved obtaining approvals, which in this casemeant coordinating with the French military. "SRN" is located in the Northof France in the département of Aube, near the military radar station ofPrunay-Belleville. The project partners have installed the 30 N100/2500turbines in a special version designed so as not to interfere withoperation of the radar station."It was the first time we co-developed a project with Nordex, and thiscollaboration has been very successful. Our skills and expertise werepooled to create a large scale wind farm that ranks as the third in Francein terms of electrical capacity," said H2air Group Management Board memberRoy Mahfouz.The wind farm has been in operation since June.
