Nordex has received an order from SSE Renewables for its 100MW Yellow River wind farm in Ireland
As first reported in the subscriber-only reNEWS on 1 December, Nordex will supply 29 N117/3600 turbines and service them post commissioning.
Nordex Group will install the turbines on tubular steel towers with overall tip heights at 156 and 166 metres.
Delivery and installation work near to the village of Rhode in County Offaly are due to start at the end of 2023.
Nordex said it plans to work, where possible, with and use local contractors, suppliers and businesses for as many parts of the Yellow River wind farm installation and operational phases.
This comprises among others cranes for the installation and crane support for service and maintenance, electrical contractors for finishing works and suppliers for tooling.
SSE Renewables’ onshore renewables development and construction director Heather Donald said: “With civil engineering works well underway, the announcement today signifies another important step towards the development of our Yellow River wind farm project.
“We welcome Nordex’s commitment to the local supply chain wherever possible and look forward supporting their work towards the arrival of turbines later this year.”
