German wind turbine manufacturer Nordex Group has secured a turbine order from Enefit Green for a 255MW onshore wind cluster in Estonia.
Under the contract, Nordex will supply 38 of its N163/6.X turbines for the Sopi I, Sopi II and Tootsi wind farms.
Sopi I, Sopi II and Tootsi will be built in Nord Pärnu and constitute the most powerful wind project cluster in the Baltic states to date.
The projects are expected to generate around 700GWh of clean energy in total a year, which will be enough to power nearly 200,000 households.
Enefit Green management board chairman Aavo Kärmas said: “The Sopi-Tootsi Wind Farm will be the most modern and powerful renewable energy production area in Estonia and the Baltic States and will nearly double the current amount of wind energy produced in Estonia.
“Building the wind farm in good cooperation with our partners is an important step towards the renewable energy target of Estonia and providing affordable green electricity to the market.”

“The contract is evidence of the highly competitive standard of our technology. Enefit is acquiring our latest and most powerful technology.
“At the same time, the order is a huge demonstration of confidence in the joint partnership between our two companies.”
In October last year, Nordex received a 100MW turbine supply contract for two wind farms in Finland.
