Nordex Group has extended a service agreement with NaturEner USA for turbines totalling 400MW at three wind farms in the US state of Montana.
The premium operations and maintenance contract covers 266 Acciona Windpower AW77/1500 machines at phases one and two of the Glacier Wind projects near Ethridge and the Rim Rock facility near Kevin.
Nordex has been providing O&M services to each of the projects since operations commenced in 2009.
The extension renews the service agreements for up to 10 years.
NaturEner USA president Jim Kutey said: “We are pleased to continue our long-standing relationship with the Nordex Group and to extend our O&M agreements.
“By renewing our contracts, we are continuing to rely on the Nordex Group to provide reliable, high performance, cost effective O&M services. Our shared goal is to maximise safe, reliable operations for years to come.”
Nordex USA chief executive Pablo Pulpeiro said: “We are proud that NaturEner opts again for our service and maintenance.
“We know that NaturEner has high expectations of the service quality and we very much appreciate the repeated trust set in our competence.”
The deal adds to Nordex’s service order backlog in North America, which currently is comprised of 4.2GW of assets.
