Nordex Group has received a turbine order totalling 62MW for an unnamed client and wind farm in Scotland.
The German manufacturer will supply 13 N133/4.8 machines for installation starting in the autumn next year.
The order also includes a 15-year premium service contract for the turbines linked to production-based availability.
The wind farm will be built in a former coal mining region in South Lanarkshire, Nordex said.
It added that the site is characterised by good mean wind speeds of 8.6 metres a second, “perfect for the turbine variant for strong wind locations of the Delta4000 generation turbines”.
Nordex Group chief sales officer Patxi Landa said: “We are pleased to equip another subsidy-free wind farm in the UK with our strong-wind turbine technology.
“Thanks to the high installed capacity of the 4.8MW turbine, hub heights of 110 metres, and with the consistent high annual mean wind speed at the site, the customer will be able to operate the wind farm without the need for government funding.
“Thanks to the wind farm, the local economy in the former coal mining community will turn away from fossil fuels and the transition to a low-carbon economy will begin.”
