Nordex to deliver twelve turbines to Ireland

Hamburg - Nordex has obtained a new order for the construction of a new wind farm in Ireland.

The company will be installing a total of twelve turbines with 35 megawatts to Glencarbry wind farm for its customer John Laing Investments. The site is located close to the village of Hollyford in County Tipperary. Nordex will install seven N100/3300s and five N90/2500s wind turbines to Glencarbry.

With an average wind speed of 8 m/s, it is predicted the turbines will produce 118 gigawatts of electricity a year. Turbine deliveries are due to commence in October this year. Following installation, Nordex will service the turbines for a period of 15 years having signed a Premium Service Contract with John Laing.

Together with Glencarbry and other projects currently under construction, Nordex will be increasing its installed capacity in Ireland to more than 700 MW. With its substantial potential for wind energy the Emerald Isle is an important market for the manufacturer, which is one of the leading suppliers of wind turbine generators there.
