Nordex Group CSO Patxi Landa said: “With Øyfjellet being such a large and prestigious project, we are delighted that our new customer, Eolus Vind, and the project owner, have decided to select the Nordex Group and, in particular the N149/5.X turbines.

“Øyfjellet will be another major project for the European energy transition, employing our Delta4000 technology and will once again demonstrate how economically onshore wind energy can deliver clean electricity close to consumers’ needs.”

The Øyfjellet wind facility was developed by Nordic wind power developer Eolus Vind, and the project is expected to come online in autumn next year.

Once operational, the clean energy generated by the wind facility will be supplied to Alcoa Norway under a power purchase agreement (PPA), signed between Eolus Vind and Alcoa Norway in 2018.
