The turbines will be equipped with GE’s Ice Mitigation System in order to endure icing conditions for substantial parts of the year. The installation of the wind turbines at the project site will commence in Q2 2021 and the turbines will be fully commissioned and operational by the end of 2021.
The wind farm nominal capacity is 132 MW, which will generate 400 GWh of electricity per year - equivalent to the electricity consumption of more than 80,000 households (5,000 kWh per household).
“OX2 is one of the biggest developers of wind farms in the Nordic region, and we are thrilled they’ve selected our brand-new Cypress platform” said Peter Wells, GE’s CEO of Onshore Wind in Europe. “Our goal is to help our customers drive energy costs down every day, and Cypress is ideally suited to make the best use of the country's wind speed and landscape.”
The Cypress onshore wind platform enables significant Annual Energy Production (AEP) improvements, increased efficiency in service ability, improved logistics and siting potential, and ultimately more value for customers. The two-piece blade design enables blades to be manufactured at even longer lengths, improving logistics to drive costs down and offer more siting options in locations that were previously inaccessible.
