Nordex has won a 177MW turbine order for a wind project in Peru.
The manufacturer will supply 30 N155/5.X turbines for the project in the Ica region.
The construction of the wind farm, for the undisclosed customer, will start in autumn 2022.
The project is the first order for the N155/5.X turbines of the Delta4000 series, which feature a rotor diameter of 155 metres and the flexible rating in the 5MW class.
The order also includes a full-service contract covering a period of 10 years.
Peru has considerable wind energy potential thanks to its geographical position. Mainly in the regions close to the coast between the Andes and the Pacific, the average wind speeds reach 7.5 metres per second and more at an altitude of 80 metres.
In 2018, Nordex completed the first wind farm in Peru with 132MW installed capacity.
