According to information published on the Nordex website, the company received an order from Romania for the delivery and installation of five turbines, each with a capacity of 5.9 MW from a customer whose name is not yet public. The contract also includes maintenance for the wind turbines for 20 years. The wind farm to be equipped with these huge turbines, each 125-meter tall, will be built in the SE region of the country, where most of Romania’s 3,000 MW of wind turbines are. Construction will start next year.
“It is great to see that after years of constant installed capacity, we are now able to implement a new project in Romania. Romania has the highest wind potential in Southeast Europe. With three wind farms totaling 100 MW, we have been present in the country for years and also maintain two service points. This local know-how is another advantage for the new project, with the long-term service contract, to optimize the power generation of the wind farm,” said Patxi Landa, CSO (chief sales officer) at Nordex Group.
The Nordex Group has installed more than 44 GW of wind energy capacity in over 40 markets and in 2022 generated revenue of EUR5.7 billion. It currently employs a workforce of approximately 9,000. The joint manufacturing capacity includes factories in Germany, Spain, Brazil, the United States, India and Mexico.
