Press Release
Nordex receives orders totalling more than 150 MW in Germany
Hamburg, 9 June. Nordex SE continued to build on the success of the first
quarter 2015 in April and May. In these two months the wind turbine
manufacturer signed 17 orders with a total capacity of more than 150 MW in
its home market. Nearly all the customers decided in favour of the tried
and tested light-wind N117/2400 turbine with is particularly high level of
efficiency at inland sites.
VR Bank Flensburg-Schleswig eG invested in ten turbines of this type. The
wind farm where these machines are to be installed lies in Thurnau,
Franconia, at the northern edge of Franconian Switzerland. The region
between Bayreuth and Kulmbach is characterised by light wind speed, making
the site an ideal for the N117/2400.
"We invested in the wind farm because we see this as a sustainable
investment," says VR Bank board member Michael Möller. "As a cooperative
bank we always have an eye on the overall social impact and are very aware
of our responsibility. Investing in green electricity seems to us to be
both promising and profitable as well as showing our sense of
responsibility towards the coming generations."
"We are pleased to have acquired VR Bank as a new customer," says Siegbert
Pump, Nordex Head of Sales for Germany. "We already know banks as partners
in our project financing. But VR Bank is the first one we have been able to
supply as a long-term operator of a wind farm. It is nice to see that
banks are now investing in power plants with a view to meeting their return
targets. For us this opens up new opportunities."
The other orders also included projects for new customers, for example
Trianel GmbH, a municipal utility association from Aachen, or Thüga neue
Energien from Hamburg. On the other hand, Naturstrom Anlagen GmbH in
Bavaria has already placed numerous orders with the manufacturer: in
Titting, Upper Bavaria, Nordex is building the third project for this
long-standing customer while at the same time consolidating its market
position in the state of Bavaria, where the company has a market share of
around 30 percent. Nordex has now opened up a regional centre in Würzburg
with several service points in order to handle local business more
efficiently and better fulfil service contracts with terms of up to 15
years.
In the first quarter of this year Nordex SE's order intake in Germany
amounted to nearly 157 MW, representing a further increase its peak figure
of the first quarter 2014.
