Nordex has been awarded a contract for the delivery and commissioning of 49 turbines for a 280MW wind project in Canada.
The order is for the company’s N155/5.X turbines which will be installed at the Forty Mile wind farm in Alberta.
The wind farm has been developed by Renewable Energy Systems (RES) Canada and once completed in the first quarter of 2025, the asset will be Acciona Energía’s largest wind farm in North America.
All turbines will be cold climate versions and will be delivered with a rated capacity of 5.7MW and operated on 108-metre steel towers.
“We are delighted to provide the technology to help support Canada’s ambitious climate change targets.
“With the cold climate version, our turbines ensure smooth operation even in the challenging weather conditions found in this region where temperatures can go below minus 30 degrees,” said Patxi Landa, CSO of Nordex.
By the end of 2022, Canada was ranked eighth in the world for installed wind capacity and the Canadian Renewable Energy Association also forecasts the addition of more than 5GW of wind between 2023 and 2025.
