Hamburg, 26 January 2016 Nordex has signed a frame contract with the
Finnish asset management company Taaleritehdas. The companies have agreed
on the delivery of 72 N131/3000 turbines for six projects in 2016 and 2017.
The planned projects are intended for different IEC-3 sites in Finland. The
customer has now called down the first two wind farms, "Limakko" and
"Kantti", with a total of 17 turbines and 51 MW. Delivery is to be effected
in the course of this year.
With this frame contract covering a total volume of 216 megawatts Nordex is
strengthening its position in the important Finnish wind market, where the
manufacturer has been operating through a subsidiary since 2011. The
company has a particular advantage in Scandinavia with its anti-icing
system, which makes it possible to increase the energy yield of turbines in
cold regions by up to ten percent by reducing machine stops due to ice. The
frame contract with Taaleritehdas also includes the anti-icing system in
the supply schedule.
"Nordex's strong footprint in Finland and its wealth of experience with
turbines for cold regions were the key factors in deciding in favour of
this second frame contract," says Director Taamir Fareed from
Taaleritehdas.
"We plan every new market entry very carefully and in Finland this has paid
off. As a key account, particularly Taaleritehdas has made a major
contribution to our success in Scandinavia. We will continue to justify
their renewed confidence in us with good quality and dependable service,"
says Nordex CEO Lars Bondo Krogsgaard. The frame contract for the projects
in 2016/17 is already the second this asset management company has
concluded with Nordex. The manufacturer had supplied 36 N117/2400 turbines
from the first contract in 2012.
