Nordex has now exceeded the 5GW threshold of installed capacity in the Nordic region.
With the installation of a N163/5.X turbine at the Kalistanneva wind farm in Finland, the manufacturer has reached the milestone.
A total of 1234 turbines, manufactured by Nordex, are in operation in Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Norway and produce clean electricity for two million households.
Distributed by country, 2.6GW is accounted for by wind farms in Finland, 1.6GW in Sweden, 641MW in Norway and 152MW in Denmark.
“The Nordic markets are often characterised by complex terrain, difficult site access, challenging climate conditions and high expectations for HSE management.
“Our customers know that we can master these challenges and, thanks to our cold climate variants and the Nordex Advanced Anti-Icing System, also offer proven solutions for high turbine availability in the long, demanding winter months,” said Till Junge, Vice President of the Nordex Group’s Nordic region.
Nordex installed its first turbines in the region in Denmark in the mid-1980s.
Today, Finland and Sweden are the drivers of new wind energy projects in the Nordics.
“With our long track record and a strong and dedicated local team in the Nordics we are committed to support our customers in the region in the years ahead.
“Thanks to our large rotors, powerful turbines and high tower variants, we are in a good position to maintain our market position and continuously expand our installation base in the region,” said Ibrahim Ozarslan, CEO of Nordex Group’s Division Europe.
