Nordex Group to supply 228 MW for E.ON project in the US

Hamburg, 8 December 2016. E.ON has placed a new order with the Nordex Group for a 228 MW project in the United States.

Nordex will be installing 76 AW125/3000 turbines at the Bruenning’s Breeze Wind Farm in Texas. The IEC-2b turbine with its rotor diameter of 125 metres is designed for medium wind speed conditions like those found in the area near Bruenning’s Breeze, and makes it possible for E.ON to realise a project with a low cost of energy.

E.ON plans to commission the turbines at the end of next year.
