Nordex has kicked off manufacturing of the Delta4000 series at its La Vall d’Uixo plant in Spain.
The facility is the second site the German manufacturer will use to produce the turbines after Rostock in Germany.
A first N149/4.0-4.5 nacelle rolled off the production line on 12 December. The hardware is destined for the Celada 3 wind farm in Spain.
Nordex expects to complete 250 nacelles at the site by end-2020 for European and global projects. Some 125 staff are employed at the facility.
“Series production for the Delta4000 started in Rostock in March 2019 and less than nine months later turbines from this generation are now coming off the production line in La Vall d’Uixo,” said chief executive Jose Luis Blanco.
“This will enable us to meet the increased global demand for turbines of this generation in a targeted manner. Today almost every second turbine sold comes from the Delta4000 series.”
