Nordex AG has since received the fifth new contract for this year
from the United Kingdom. The Company will now be supplying wind
turbines with an output of some 70 megawatts with a total value of
around EUR 70 million to this country. The latest project concerns
extensions to the "Crystal Rig" wind farm with the addition of five
N80/2500 KW turbines in a contract worth EUR 10 million.
In 2003, Nordex had constructed 20 N80 turbines close to the small
Scottish town of Dunbar. With an installed capacity of 50 megawatts,
"Crystal Rig" is one of the largest wind farms in operation in the
United Kingdom. "In my view, the fact that Fred Olsen Renewables has
opted for Nordex again testifies to the confidence which it has in
our technology," says Carsten Pedersen, COO Sales and Marketing at
Nordex AG.
And the wind farm developer is in good company. This year alone, two
other Nordex customers - including UK utility Npower - have opted for
this turbine. Generally speaking, what was decisive was the robust
design of the turbine, which is certified for strong-wind sites. In
the past few months, Nordex has received orders for 22 of its N80
turbines from the United Kingdom to join the 30 units already in
operation there.
Including the projects under construction, Nordex UK has to date
installed roughly 200 megawatts worth around EUR 160 million. The
Company is also providing maintenance services for most of these
turbines. Explains Pedersen: "Our customers often attach key
importance to OEM service, which is why we want to further extend our
service in the UK. In fact, we are currently holding negotiations
with a number of customers on new projects."
The United Kingdom is one of Nordex’s most important markets on
account of the strong projected growth. Experts assume that new
installation of the industry will expand in 2006 by around 40% to
some 600 megawatts. Contrary to original assumptions, demand is
focusing on onshore turbines.
