Nordex has secured a 141MW turbine order for a wind farm project in Spain.
The manufacturer will supply and install 24 N163/5.X machines from the Delta4000 series for the project and will service the units for 25 years.
The Cluster Rueda Sur wind farm will be installed near Zaragoza in the autonomous region of Aragón in the north of Spain.
The wind park is being developed by BayWa r.e. together with the Spanish company CEAR.
The Nordex turbines will each have a capacity of 5.9MW and will be installed on tubular steel towers with a hub height of 125 metres.
Installation will take place from mid-2024 and commissioning is scheduled for spring 2025.
Nordex chief sales officer Patxi Landa said: “We would like to thank BayWa r.e. for their trust in our technology and that, after recently winning projects in Scotland and France, we can now continue to advance the energy transition in Spain with BayWa r.e. as well.”
Nordex sales director for Spain Francisco Cejudo added: “To date, the Nordex Group has sold turbines with a capacity of more than 3.8GW on the Spanish market.
“Of these, 3.18GW are in operation, the rest are under construction.
“With a share of 45%, we led the sales market in Spain last year.
“Against this background, the order placed by BayWa r.e. now spurs us on all the more.”
