Nordex has secured a turbine order of over 157MW from Acciona Energy Australia for the Mortlake South wind farm in the state of Victoria.
The deal is for the installation of 35 N149/4.0-4.5 machines rated at 4.5MW from the Delta 4000 series.
Infrastructure works has already started and completion of the 157.5MW wind farm is expected in mid-2020
Nordex said the turbine is ideal for the site which has average wind speeds of 7.7 metres a second.
Nordex chief sales officer Patxi Landa said: “In addition to our successful sales in Europe, we are now increasingly meeting with significant interest in the N149 turbine in other international sales regions, like recently in Argentina and now in Australia. This order is yet another indication of the confidence placed in our state-of-the-art technology.”
The German manufacturer has installed 370MW of hardware in Australia.
