Nordex has received a 50MW turbine order for a wind project in Brandenburg, Germany.
A project company managed by e-wikom GmbH has placed the order for the supply and installation of nine machines with a total of 50.4MW for the Ostprignitz wind farm project.
Nordex will also service and maintain the turbines for 20 years.
The manufacturer will begin supplying eight N149/5.X turbines as well as one N133/4800 unit from the start of 2024 with commissioning planned for later that year.
All of the turbines will have a hub height of 164 metres and will be installed in a row parallel to the Berlin-Hamburg A24 motorway, near to the Wittstock Dosse interchange.
As well as a shadow flicker module and a bat module, the machines will also be equipped with the Nordex “IDD Blade” option to detect ice on the rotor blades.
“After an intensive development period in the currently very dynamic market environment, we are very pleased to be able to build another large wind farm in Brandenburg with Nordex and to continue the successful cooperation between our companies,” said e-wikom’s Managing Director, Denis Kühn.
“Our thanks go to e-wikom for their repeated trust placed in us. Thanks in part to this project, the expansion of wind energy in Germany is gradually gaining more momentum.
“With the Wind-to-Land Act, which came into force on 1 February 2023, we and our customers now hope that it will advance the expansion of wind energy in Germany much faster than before,” added Karsten Brüggemann, Vice President Region Central, Nordex.
