Nordex Group has secured a 300MW turbine contract with the North American subsidiary of France’s Engie for a wind project in Texas, US.
The order is for the supply and installation of 100 AW140/3000 turbines for the Prairie Hill project near the town of Mart, which will be delivered in 2020.
The machines will be hosted on 82 metre high towers, representing the largest swept area wind turbine available in the marketplace with a tip height below 500 feet.
Nordex chief sales officer Patxi Landa said: “We are pleased to be working with a new and important international customer, Engie, and we are bringing technology to the table that enables the lowest cost of energy solution, one which is perfectly suited to the conditions of their Texas project.”
In May, Nordex secured a 200MW turbine order for 63 of its AW125/3150 turbines for another project in Texas plus an order for a 350MW project in Oklahoma with a utility, using 74 of its N149/4.0-4.5 turbine.
