An unnamed utility has commissioned the Nordex Group to supply and install ten N149/4X turbines at an undisclosed wind farm in North-Rhine Westphalia, Germany.
The order also includes for maintenance services at the 45MW wind farm for a period of 20 years.
Annual production of clean electricity by the wind farm is expected to amount to around 96,000MWh. This equates to the annual electricity requirements of more than 38,000 households.
At the same time, the N149 turbines avoid the emission of 38,400 tonnes of carbon dioxide a year.
The turbines are to be equipped with a shadow flicker module to prevent shadows and will run at a reduced sound level at night. In order to protect bats, a bat module stops the turbines when these animals are active.
Commissioning of the first 4.5 MW turbines is scheduled for autumn 2023.
