The Nordex Group has received a further order from Irish customer ESB International based in Dublin. The 20MW wind farm will be a follow-up “Woodhouse” project and will consist of five N100/2500 and three N90/2500 turbines. The facility is intended to exploit local strong to medium wind conditions to optimum effect. The deal also includes a five-year premium service contract.
Nordex has constructed a total of four wind farms for ESB in the north and south of Ireland so far. These facilities represent a combined capacity of 67.5MW. The “Woodhouse” project is located in the south east of Ireland, near Dungarven, and is to be built in autumn 2014. With the projects currently under construction, the company will be boosting its total installed capacity in Ireland to over 500MW.
“This marks a very encouraging continuation of our performance in this country and vindicates our strategy of working closely with our local customers” said Nordex Management Board member Lars Bondo Krogsgaard.
Nordex is a company that favours large-scale turbines and its Generation Gamma range, comprising the N90/2500, N100/2500 and the N117/2400, is considered by the company to be one of the most efficient series turbines for non-coastal regions. Over 2,600 of these turbines have been produced by the company to date. Nordex has a presence in 22 countries around the world and employs over 2,500 employees.
