Nordex has received two turbine orders from France for a total of 57MW.
The deals also include the Premium Service for the maintenance of the hardware over 20 years after commissioning in autumn 2025.
In Centre-Val-de-Loire four N149/5.X turbines are being installed on 105-metre-high tubular steel towers in a 22.8MW wind farm.
For a 34.4MW wind farm in Hauts de France, Nordex is supplying and installing six N163/5.X machines on tubular steel towers with a hub height of 118 metres.
This is the second order from France for Nordex units with a rotor diameter of 163 metres – the largest rotors of turbines in France to date, according to the firm.
The size of the rotor is a determining factor in the performance of a machine, as the rotor converts the kinetic energy of the wind into rotational energy and more wind is captured in the case of large rotors.
