Nordex exceeding the 10,000 mark

Hamburg, 11 March 2014 -  All the just under 6,000 Nordex turbines which have been installed since 1985 are thus notionally supplying more than 6.5 million four-person homes with clean wind-produced electricity, avoiding more than 26 billion tons of C02 emission a year with their harmful effects on the ozone layer.

Last year alone, the Group assembled a total of 506 turbines around the world, meaning that on average two turbines went on line each working day. At the same time, Nordex has achieved considerable gains in its share of the market in selected regions: According to industry association figures, it was responsible for more than 52 percent of the new installations in Norway, more than 25 percent in both Turkey and the Netherlands and 17 percent in Finland.

“Nordex has since installed 186 Generation Gamma N117/2400 turbines of the type now assembled in Ireland, with a further 199 under construction,” says Nordex Management Board member Lars Bondo Krogsgaard.
