Nordex Italia obtains orders for 185 megawatts - Greentech Energy Systems orders three wind farms worth EUR 190 million

Hamburg - Business in Italy continues to expand for Nordex. Now the turbine manufacturer has been awarded three new orders from its key customer, Greentech Energy Systems A/S. Nordex is to supply and install a total of 89 turbines from the N90/2300 and S77/1500 series with a rated output totalling 185 megawatts. The order, including two years service, is worth around EUR 190 million.

The “Messina” project (21 x N90/2500) is to be implemented on Sicily, the “Grighine” (43 x N90/2300) and the “Energia Alternativa” wind parks (25 x S77/1500) on Sardinia. The “Energia Alternativa” project is an extension of a wind park only recently set up by Nordex, consisting of 14 S77/1500 turbines. The wind park plants will be constructed in the period from spring to the end of 2008.

“After already booking new business worth more than EUR 160 million from Italy in the course of 2007, the three new orders confirm our positive projections for this growth market. In addition to this, it was a correct and important step to increase the workforce of our subsidiary, Nordex Italia”, says Carsten Pedersen, COO Sales and Marketing at Nordex
