Germany - Nordex to deliver 60 turbines to BP Alternative Energy
German wind power specialist Nordex AG said it has signed a major contract in the U.S. with BP Alternative Energy North America Inc. for the delivery of 60 N90/2500 kilowatt turbines. The contract for the delivery and installation of the systems includes five years of service.
"We are pleased that BP has included our turbine to further accelerate the growth of their U.S. wind portfolio," says Carsten Pedersen, Chief Operating Officer Sales and Marketing.
Nordex has already installed roughly 500 of these turbines all around the world for different customers - as well as in the U.S. for the first time in summer 2007.
BP has prior experience with Nordex turbines. Since 2002, nine Nordex N80/2500 kW systems have been in operation at a BP refinery in the Netherlands. Nordex will deliver the first turbines in the second quarter of 2009. At the moment, Nordex is making preparations to build up its own production facilities in the U.S. during the next two years in order to be ready for further supplies to the U.S. and Canada.
Pedersen said, "A follow-up contract is always good evidence of a customer's faith in our products and services. A contract awarded by BP Alternative Energy has particular importance for our U.S. subsidiaries as BP is a leading developer in this market."
