GERMANY,UNITED STATES : Nordex secured 30 MW order from WKN USA
Publish Date : 20-Dec-2011
Nordex USA, Inc. secured a new order from developer WKN USA, LLC, a BayWa Group Company, for its 30 MW Mozart Wind Farm.
The 12 Nordex N100/2500 wind turbines on 80 meter towers will be located about 60 miles northwest of Abilene, Texas, in an area that led the country in wind energy installations over the last decade. The N100’s proven performance record makes it an excellent fit for the site’s IEC Class IIa wind regime.
Florian Zerhusen, Founder & CEO of WKN USA, LLC., said “We are very pleased to begin working with Nordex in the US. We have always valued the quality of their turbines, their engineering expertise and their creative solutions. We see this order as a first step in extending the success of both of our companies in the American market.”
Nordex will begin delivery of the turbines in late August 2012 and will be responsible for their installation and commissioning.
Commercial operation is expected to startmid-December and an Extended Service contract with a 2-year term has been agreed. The turbines will generate enough energy to power about 9,000 homes. The nacelles will be produced at Nordex’ new plant in Jonesboro, Arkansas.
Ralf Sigrist, President & CEO of Nordex USA, Inc.,said “We are honored that WKN has selected Nordex for the Mozart Wind Farm. They are widely respected as an international leader in turnkey renewable energy projects and undertook a rigorous review of our technology and our capability. As a growing global company, we know it is important to solidify our existing business connections while we continue our expansion in the Americas.”
At the end of this year Nordex will have installed 447.5 MW of its 2.5 MW turbines in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Colorado, Idaho and Iowa and around 4.300 MW of such turbines worldwide since the year 2001.
