Nordex Supplies Turbines to Australia
Hamburg - German wind turbine manufacturer Nordex has signed a contract for supplying 22 AW125/3000 turbines for the construction of the first phase of "Mount Gellibrand" wind farm in Australia.
Victoria is one of the states with the greatest potential for wind power in Australia. At the "Mount Gellibrand" site, some 100 kilometres south-west of Melbourne, there are average annual wind speeds of 7.2 m/s. The turbines are especially designed for sites like this with medium wind speeds (IEC 2b) and a low turbulence level. Nordex will be installing the AW125/3000 turbines on 87.5 metre tubular steel towers, which will be built in Victoria. Start-up of the wind farm is scheduled for 2018, after which Nordex will service the turbines for an initial period of two years.
