Nordex awarded contracts for 45 MW of wind energy in Italy

The Nordex Group has been awarded contracts for the installation of two wind farms in Apulia. A total of 13 N131 turbines with 84 meter steel towers are to be supplied plus service for the turbines. Construction is to commence in the third quarter of 2018.

The order has been placed by an Italian project developer and independent power producer which primarily specialises in wind power. Both projects were awarded in a tender process held in 2016.

The Group has installed wind power capacity of more than 21 GW in over 25 markets, generating sales of EUR 3.4 billion in 2016. It currently has roughly 5,000 employees. The production network comprises plants in Germany, Spain, Brazil, the United States and India. The product range primarily concentrates on onshore turbines in the 1.5 – 4.5 MW class addressing the requirements of land constrained as well as grid constrained markets.
