Nordex to Supply Vattenfall's Largest Onshore Wind Farm in the UK

The Nordex Group will be the supplier for Vattenfall’s largest onshore wind farm in the UK. The 240 MW South Kyle wind farm in Scotland will consist of 50 N133/4.8 strong-wind turbines,

Accompanied with the supply of the turbines comes a maintenance contract on the basis of a Premium Service Contract with a term of 10 years. The Nordex Group booked the contract for this project in the first quarter of 2020, and the company’s regular customer Vattenfall has now given the green light for the construction of the wind farm.

The South Kyle Wind Farm is located 5km east of Dalmellington between East Ayrshire, Dumfries and Galloway on land largely utilised for commercial forestry. The Nordex Group will install the 50 turbines on tubular steel towers, with a blade tip height of 149.5 metres.

“Vattenfall is a very important partner for our activities in Europe. We are pleased to equip South Kyle with the strong-wind N133/4.8 turbine from the Delta4000 series. Our highly efficient technology is particularly important to maximise electricity production,” says Patxi Landa, CSO of the Nordex Group.
