German group Landwind orders 82 MW of Nordex wind turbines

German wind power company Landwind Group has ordered turbines with a total capacity of 81.6 MW from Nordex SE (ETR:NDX1) for installation as part of four projects in eastern Lower Saxony.

Nordex said in a statement that it will supply 12 units of N163/6.X turbines for the collective Gevensleben development in the districts of Helmstedt and Wolfenbuettel. The wind farms are seen to enter into operation in the winter of 2023, at which point they will be able to generate some 180 million kWh of electricity.

The supplier will also service the turbines over a period of 20 years.

“Now we are finally able to make this long-planned project a reality and make a further contribution to the energy transition. As these powerful turbines are ideally suited to this site, we will be in a position to quintuple energy production here. This brings many advantages to our region, which will be reflected in an increase in jobs, trade taxes and the involvement of the public,” stated Alexander Heidebroek, CEO of the Landwind Group.
