Nordex has received a 35MW turbine order for a wind project in Poland.
The agreement for the supply and installation of 10 turbines is with Wind Farm Lada.
The 35 MW Dzwola wind farm is being built near the city of Zamość in the province of Lublin in the south-east of Poland.
Delivery and installation work is due to start in autumn 2023 and the turbines are due to start operation at the beginning of 2024.
The order also includes a 15-year service contract.
Dzwola is the first wind farm to be operated by RE Alloys, a manufacturer of ferrosilicon and silicon-based alloys.
“The transaction is part of a wider programme that will ensure that RE Alloys’ energy needs are fully covered from the company’s own renewable sources.
“This programme will serve the environment as RE Alloys, being the third largest producer of ferrosilicon in Europe, uses more energy than the city of Katowice”, said Miroslaw Wilczek, CEO of RE Alloys.
He adds: “Moreover, it will stabilise good jobs in the mining community, where they are particularly needed, as well as the municipality’s income necessary to provide high-quality public services.”
Patxi Landa, chief sales officer of Nordex, added: “For Nordex, this order is once again confirmation of our good technology, which has been tried and tested for years.
“We are pleased to start working with RE Alloys for their first wind farm.”
