Nordex awarded contract for eleven N117/3000 turbines in Finland
Hamburg - In December 2013, Nordex SE received a contract from wpd europe GmbH for the delivery and installation of eleven turbines for the Mäkikangas wind farm.
The Mäkikangas wind farm is being built on the west coast of Finland close to the town of Pyhäjoki at a site with an annual average wind speed of approx. 8 metres per second. For this reason, N117/3000 Generation Delta turbines will be used and installed by Nordex during this year. The wind turbines have a hub height of 141 metres in order to generate the greatest possible electricity yield. With their high towers, the large rotor sweep of 10,715 square metres and an installed nominal output of 3 MW each, the eleven turbines at the Mäkikangas wind farm will generate an annual yield sufficient to supply 24,000 homes. As the site experiences periods of extremely low temperatures of down to minus 30 degrees, Nordex will be supplying the turbines in the cold-climate version.
Mäkikangas is wpd’s first project in Finland. For Nordex, the contract underscores the great confidence shown by its long-standing customer. “We are pleased that wpd has again opted for our turbines and has decided to order our Generation Delta this time. Several turbines of this platform are already in operation in Germany, Denmark and Finland”, says Lars Bondo Krogsgaard, a member of Nordex’s Management Board.
