Nordex has made its first move into Ukraine with a turbine order totalling 133MW for the first phase of the Syvash wind farm.
The deal is for 34 N131/3900 machines with Powerchina, the EPC contractor that is building the project for a joint venture of Norwegian outfit NBT and French renewables developer Total Eren.
Syvash, which is located in the Kherson region on the north shore of Lake Syvash, will eventually have a total capacity of 250MW after the final construction phase next year, Nordex said.
Nordex chief executive Luis Blanco said: “This order marks the perfect entry into the Ukrainian market.
“We are looking forward to collaborating with such experienced partners, and are proud that our turbine technology is to be used in what will be the largest wind farm in Ukraine.”
