Nordex Group has confirmed that it will supply turbines to Vattenfall’s 240MW South Kyle wind farm in Scotland.
The project will consist of 50 N133/4.8MW machines on tubular steel towers with a blade tip height of 149.5 metres.
The deal also includes a 10-year premium service contract.
Nordex said it booked the contract in the first quarter of 2020, and the company’s regular customer Vattenfall has now given the green light for the construction of the wind farm.
South Kyle will be built on land largely utilised for commercial forestry, located 5km to the east of Dalmellington and between East Ayrshire and Dumfries and Galloway.
Nordex chief sales officer Patxi Landa said: “Vattenfall is a very important partner for our activities in Europe.
“We are pleased to equip South Kyle with the strong-wind N133/4.8 turbine from the Delta4000 series.
“Our highly efficient technology is particularly important to maximise electricity production.”
Vattenfall project manager for the South Kyle wind farm Paul Nickless said: “Vattenfall is looking forward to working with Nordex to safely deliver, install and put into operation 50 N133 wind turbines at South Kyle.
“Onshore wind is a proven low-cost technology. South Kyle has a vital role in helping Scotland to achieve net zero, whilst ensuring the Scottish economy benefits from our investments.
“We will work with Nordex to seek to deploy local supply chain where possible.”
