Nordex Group is to supply 57 turbines totalling almost 314MW to two wind farms in Finland for Valorem.
The German manufacturer will deliver 30 N163/5.X turbines of the Delta4000 series to the Kalistanneva project and 27 machines of the same turbine type to the Matkussaari facility.
The orders also include a premium plus service contract for 35 years.
Kalistanneva was sold by Valorem to a Finnish Consortium comprised of Helen and the Bank of Alands’s Wind Power Fund.
Valorem will build and operate the wind farm, with AIP Management providing flexible long-term financing in partnership with the former.
Both wind farms are located in the Ostrobothnia region and form part of the larger Viiatti project, one of the five largest wind farms in Finland currently being built.
Infrastructure works will start in spring 2022.
The turbines will be delivered and installed 2024 on tubular steel towers with a hub height of 148 metres and equipped as a cold climate variant.
Upon completion, both wind farms will generate approximately 1 terrawatt-hours of electricity, equivalent to a good 1.2% of Finland’s annual electricity consumption.
