Nordex awarded contracts for 148 MW in Argentina
- Successful entry into the new growth market of Latin America
.Hamburg (renewablepress) - With the award of two contracts for the construction of wind farms with a combined capacity of 148 megawatt, the Nordex Group has successfully entered the new growth market Argentina in December. 32 AW 125/3000 turbines are to be installed for the “La Castellana” project, while the “Archiras” project entails 15 turbines of the same type. Construction is to commence in the fourth quarter of 2017 for expected completion in summer 2018.
In both cases, Nordex will be installing the wind farms for its new customer Central Puerto, a utility which is the most important private generation company in Argentine, and has been primarily operating conventional and hydraulic power stations since its establishment in 1992.

In October 2016, the government awarded contracts for a total capacity of more than 1.1 gigawatts (GW), most of which were for wind power projects (700 MW). In a second call for tenders in November, contracts for a further 600 MW, including 400 MW for wind power, were awarded.
