Nordex has received a 59MW turbine order for a wind project in Poland.
The manufacturer will supply and install 15 N131/3900 turbines for the 58.5MW Mierzyn wind farm project, for the subsidiary of Polish utility Tauron Polska Energia.
The order, from Tauron Zielona Energia, also includes service for the turbines covering a period of three years.
The wind farm is being built in the north-west of Poland and is Tauron’s second largest wind project to date.
It forms part of the “Green Turn” project, which has been set up with the aim of converting the existing sources of electricity production, based mainly on fossil fuels, to emission-free solutions.
The N131/3900-turbines will be installed by Nordex Group during autumn 2023 on tubular steel towers with a hub height of 134 metres.
Commissioning is scheduled for summer 2024.
The Mierzyn project is the first order the Nordex Group has received from Tauron Polska Energia.
The utility has nine wind farms to date with a total capacity of more than 380MW, 34 hydroelectric plants with a capacity of 132MW and three photovoltaic power facilities with a capacity of 19MW on grid in Poland.
Tauron plans to increase its installed capacity in renewables to 1.6GW by 2025.
