e.disnatur orders more large turbines from Nordex

Boost given by high demand for multi-MW turbines

"More and more customers are ordering our large turbines. Some 70 per cent of new orders received in the course of this financial year have been for the Nordex N80/N90 series", says a delighted Carsten Pedersen, Nordex Sales Director. The most recent example of this is an order from e.disnatur, a subsidiary of the utility E.DIS AG. Nordex will be installing a turnkey N80 wind farm for e.disnatur, with a capacity of 15 MW. Construction work is due to start in Schortewitz (Saxony-Anhalt) near Halle in August 2004. To begin with, Nordex will be setting up the necessary infrastructure, such as roads, foundations, the transformer and approx. 18 kilometres of cable. Start-up of the six large turbines, each with a capacity of 2,500 kW, is scheduled for December 2004.

All this was preceded by many years of planning. Some six years ago, the Nordex subsidiary NPV commenced work on developing the wind farm project. Says Pedersen: "This long planning phase is the result of the fact that about two years ago we changed our building application from smaller machines to the N80 in order to obtain the optimal energy yield from the area.” Measurements showed that the average wind speed at a tower height of 80 metres was 6.6 m/s. On this basis Nordex projects an annual energy yield of 24,000 megawatt hours for the wind farm. This is the equivalent of the electricity consumed by 6,000 4-person households and saves some 24,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions per year.

Says Pedersen: "What makes this order particularly gratifying for me is the fact that we were able to sell the "Schortewitz" wind farm to a customer who already has experience with this series. This underlines the quality of our work and the performance of the machine". At the beginning of 2004, e.disnatur took over the "Losten" N90 wind farm. The business partners are currently engaged in negotiations on further projects.
