UK - Nordex supplying 20 MW to Northern Ireland
The first joint project between Nordex and UK developer DW Consultancy Ltd. has been signed and sealed: DW Consultancy has ordered eight Nordex N80/2500 turbines for their Northern Irish wind farm known as “Screggagh”. Nordex will be supplying the wind turbines from its European production facility in Rostock in September.
The turbines will be built in County Tyrone. The average wind speed at the site is 8.5 m/s. Thanks to the N80/2500 strong-wind turbine, “Screggagh” will be able to supply around 10,500 households a year with clean electricity.
The wind farm marks the first project for DW Consultancy to go to construction in Northern Ireland. DW Consultancy are active wind farm developers in Northern Ireland, with four wind farm projects (totalling 50 MW) currently permitted full planning permission, and a further eight projects (totalling more than 100 MW) within the planning system. These additional projects present the prospect of possible follow-up contracts for Nordex, one of the top suppliers of turbines in the UK market.
Nordex - a profile
As a technological leader among suppliers of megawatt turbines, Nordex benefits particularly from the global trend towards large-scale wind turbines. The Nordex product range includes one of the largest series wind power systems in the world (N80/N90/N100, 2,500 kW) with more than 1,000 of these turbines having been produced to date. This means that Nordex has a crucial edge in terms of experience in operating large turbines compared to most of its competitors in the sector. Overall, Nordex has installed more than 4,000 turbines with a capacity in excess of 5,700 MW around the world. With exports accounting for over 95 percent of its business, Nordex also has a strong position in international high-growth regions. The company has offices and subsidiaries in 18 countries. In total, the Group employs more than 2,400 people worldwide.
