Nordex receives first N100/2500 order from Italy

25 MW for Calabria / N100 is most frequently ordered Nordex turbine worldwide

Hamburg, 14. December 2011. The Italian Maccaferri Group has ordered ten Nordex N100/2500 turbines via its energy subsidiary Seci Energia. In addition to this, Seci Energia has signed a contract for at least five years of Nordex Premium Service.

The turbines will be installed in the “San Biagio” wind farm in Calabria Region as of July 2012. With a nominal output of 25 megawatts, “San Biagio” will generate more than 50 gigawatt hours of electricity a year, sufficient to cover the electricity requirements of some 15,000 Italian households. 

“Nordex Italia has more than 500 megawatt of wind turbines connected to the grid, primarily our N90 machine. With `San Biagio´ we will sell the first batch of the N100/2500 for installation in Italy, and we look forward to demonstrating the qualities of this product in mid wind conditions there”, says Nordex CSO Lars Bondo Krogsgaard.

The N100/2500 has become increasingly attractive for investors in Europe and North America, and has been the most frequently ordered Nordex turbine for the past two years. More than 180 N100/2500 turbines are on grid today. Italy is the ninth country where Nordex will be installing the N100/2500.

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.
