Nordex awarded contract for wind farm in Greece

Deliveries for 30 MW project to commence in autumn 2010

Hamburg, April 15, 2010.  Nordex has been awarded a contract for the delivery of 12 N90/2500 multi-megawatt turbines to a Greek wind farm developer. The first few turbines are to be delivered and installed this autumn, with the entire 30 MW wind farm to go on line by mid 2011.

The wind farm is located close to the coast in North Greece, where wind speeds of 7 meters a second prevail. The “high-speed” turbine versions will be generating an annual yield of 66,000 megawatt/hours, sufficient to supply 14,500 households with electricity while avoiding emissions of more than 65,000 tons of carbon dioxide.

What is more, the delivery contract includes five-year premium service. The customer will be executing the infrastructure preparations itself.

The Group has installed more than 29 GW of wind energy capacity in over 40 markets and in 2019 generated revenues of EUR 3.3 billion. The company currently employs a workforce of approx. 7,900. The joint manufacturing capacity includes factories in Germany, Spain, Brazil, the United States, India, Argentina and Mexico. The product portfolio is focused on onshore turbines in the 2.4 to 5.X MW class, which are tailor-made for the market requirements in countries with limited space and regions with limited grid capacity.
