German wind turbine manufacturer Nordex Group has secured a 100MW turbine supply contract from Finnish investor Exilion Tuuli for its Isokangas and Palokangas wind farms in Finland.
Under the contract, Nordex will supply and install 17 of its N163/5.X wind turbines at the facilities.
Located in Finland’s Ii municipality, the two wind farms will be equipped with cold-climate turbines.
Nordex Group chief sales officer Patxi Landa said: “We are very pleased that Exilion – Finland’s largest wind power producer – has chosen us to supply our onshore technology.
“Since the introduction of the N163/5.X turbine used for both projects, to date the Nordex Group has received orders from around the world for 5.5GW for this type of turbine from the Delta4000 series.
“In Finland alone, with the N163/5.X, we are now installing turbines at wind farms with more than 1.35GW of installed capacity.
