Energiequelle, an international wind farm developer, has once again commissioned the Nordex Group to supply and install turbines in Finland. As of mid-2023, the Nordex Group is to supply eight N163/5.X turbines for the 45.6 MW Lumivaara project. The order also includes a Premium Service agreement for the turbines with a term of 30 years.
The Lumivaara wind farm will be built in the municipality of Hyrynsalmi in Kainuu, a region in the north-east of Finland. The Nordex Group will supply the N163 turbines in the project-specific 5.7 MW operating mode. The machines will be configured in the cold-climate version for operation at temperatures down to -30 C and equipped with the Nordex Advanced Anti-Icing System for the rotor blades.
Energiequelle GmbH has been operating internationally as a project planner and operator of wind energy, biomass and photovoltaic systems as well as transformer stations and energy storage since 1997. With over 300 employees and more than 750 installed systems with a total output of approx. 1,400 MW, Energiequelle is a leading company in the sector.
The Group has installed more than 35 GW of wind energy capacity in over 40 markets and in 2020 generated revenues of EUR 4.6bn (£3.9bn). The product portfolio is focused on onshore turbines in the 4 to 5.X MW class, which are tailor-made for the market requirements of countries with limited space and regions with limited grid capacity.
