Nordex has secured a turbine order for a 42MW wind project in Lithuania.
The manufacturer has signed a contract with the E energija group for the supply and installation of six N163/6.X units for the project.
The order also includes a service contract for the maintenance of the turbines over 35 years.
The wind farm is being developed near the city of Kaunas.
The delivery and installation of the Delta4000 series turbines on 159-metre tubular steel towers will begin in the second half of 2025, with commissioning scheduled for the same year.
“It is the first of our three projects that we plan to start building in central Lithuania this year and we chose Nordex as the best option both in terms of technology and successful partnership that we have experienced so far,” said E energija group chief executive Gediminas Uloza.
E energija group will operate the six Nordex machines with a nominal output of 7MW.
Nordex Group’s chief sales officer Patxi Landa added: “Since the beginning of our cooperation in early 2023 E energija group has chosen to order 50 units of the N163/6.X turbines with a total capacity of 346MW from Nordex.
“We are delighted with the trust that has been repeatedly placed in us and our partnership.”
Since the installation of the first turbines in Lithuania in 2015, Nordex has sold hardware totalling more than 950MW to various customers in Lithuania.
