The units will be installed under the third build-out phase of the windfarm and are expected to be commissioned by early 2019.
This move is expected to increase the annual production of the Midtfjellet windfarm by around 110GWh capacity.
The Midtfjellet facility became operational in 2013 and currently features 44 Nordex N100 and N90 turbines, which were built in two construction phases.
Aquila Capital CEO and co-founder Roman Rosslenbroich said: “Our majority stake in Midtfjellet Vindkraft was an important step for us in the implementation of our Renewable Energy Strategy in Scandinavia.
