Nordex Group has received orders from the international wind farm developer Energiequelle for the supply and construction of 12 N163/5.X turbines in Finland.
The orders for the wind farms Takanebacken and Torvenkylä also include a long-term premium service contract for the turbines covering 30 years.
The 28.5MW Takanebacken wind farm will be built in the municipality of Maalahti in the western Finnish region of Ostrobothnia.
The 39.9MW Torvenkylä wind farm will be built 250km further north near the city of Kalajoki.
The Nordex Group will supply the N163 turbines in the cold climate version on tubular steel towers with hub heights of 148 and 118 metres. The turbines will be installed and connected to the grid in the course of 2022.
Takanebacken and Torvenkylä are two follow-up projects. The Nordex Group is currently installing the 29.96MW Konttisuo wind farm for Energiequelle in the municipality of Soini. In the southern Ostrobothnian municipality seven N149/4.0-4.5 turbines will be installed.
