Nordex Group to provide 22 turbines for new wind farm in Brazil

The Ventos da Bahia I wind farm with 66MW has been developed by Sowitec.

Under the deal, Nordex Group will provide ten AW125/3000s with 120m concrete towers and 12 of the same variant with 100m concrete towers to the wind farm.

Delivery of the turbines will begin in late summer.

Once completed, Brazil will have nine wind farms with a total capacity of 1,185MW of renewable electricity.

Last year, Acciona Windpower, before its merger with Nordex, signed the deal for this project.

Now, the deal has been booked as a firm order.

Since its merger with Acciona Windpower, Nordex has been operating three production facilities in Brazil, of which two are concrete tower factories and one nacelle production plant.

The comapny has so far installed more than 18GW of wind energy in over 25 markets.

Last month, Nordex bagged a deal to supply 81 AW125/3000 turbines with a total capacity of 243MW for a wind farm in Texas, the US.

Each of the turbines to be provided by Nordex will be equipped with a 125m rotor and will be installed on an 87.5m tubular steel tower.

Installation of the turbines is scheduled to begin in early next year.
