Hamburg, 25 November 2016. Business in Finland continues to grow for
Nordex: a major customer, ABO Wind, has ordered nine turbines from the 3 MW
series with a rotor diameter of 131 metres through its Finnish subsidiary,
ABO Wind Oy. Preparations for installation of the N131/3000 machines for a
wind farm in western Finland are to start this winter and the wind farm
will be fully operative in autumn 2017. Nordex is also responsible for
service and maintenance of the turbines for a period of 15 years on the
basis of a Premium Service contract.
The site in the municipality of Jämijärvi lies around 90 kilometres to the
north-west of Tampere in the region of Satakunta. It is characterised by
good wind speeds of 7 m/s on average. The wind farm is intended to produce
some 99,771 megawatt hours of green electricity per annum. It is planned to
install the cold-climate version of the turbines for ABO Wind.
With this order Nordex further improves its position in Finland, an
important wind market where the manufacturer has been active via a
subsidiary since 2011. "ABO Wind is a long-standing customer of Nordex with
projects in Germany, France, Ireland and now Finland too. We are very
pleased to note the confidence once again placed in our technology and
service," says Nordex CSO Sales & Marketing Patxi Landa.
"We have been active in Finland since 2013 and number among the leading
project developers there. With our four projects already set up or under
construction, we are installing 83.1 of the approximately 2,000 megawatts
of wind energy with guaranteed feed-in remuneration," says Dr. Klaus
Pötter, Managing Director of ABO Wind Oy. Three further projects totalling
80 megawatts have been approved and have a secure grid connection. In
addition, five projects with 150 megawatts are under development: "We hope
to be able to implement these within the framework of coming tenders."
The Nordex Group - a profile

markets. In 2015 Nordex and Acciona Windpower generated combined revenues
