Nordex Group Bags 166 MW Wind Turbines’ Order in Argentina

The contract for the wind farm has been awarded by Genneia, a renewable energy Independent Power Producer in Argentina

European wind turbine maker Nordex Group today announced it has bagged an order for supplying 38 wind turbines with a combined capacity of 166 MW in Argentina.

“For the first time, the Group is supplying turbines from its Delta4000 series to an overseas destination. The pooled project is Chubut Norte II, III & IV. Moreover, the Group will be providing multi-year service for the wind farm,” the Rostock headquartered company said in a statement.

The contract for the wind farm has been awarded by Genneia, a renewable energy Independent Power Producer (IPP) in Argentina. Nordex is already installing the Argentinean Pomona I & II projects (113,1 MW) for the company.

Located in the southern Province of Chubut near Puerto Madryn, the new-ordered 166.4 MW wind farm will comprise 38 N149/4.0-4.5 turbines with an installed capacity of 4.380 MW each. Installation of the turbines is scheduled for the third quarter of 2019.

The development comes after Nordex recently got an order for wind farms from Greece from Terna Energy SA which has ordered a total of 36 machines of different models with a capacity of 108 MW and 23 MW in Luxemberg.

The Nordex Group has installed over 25,000 MW wind energy capacity in 40 markets. It generated revenues of around 2.5 billion euro in 2018. The company currently employs more than 5,500 people. Its joint manufacturing capacity includes factories in Germany, Spain, Brazil, the United States, India.

The company’s product portfolio is focused on onshore turbines in the 2.4 to 5.X MW class, which are tailor-made for the market requirements in countries with limited space and regions with limited grid capacity.
