Nordex wins order from German wind-park developer UKA for 39 turbines
German wind and solar park developer Umweltgerechte Kraftanlagen GmbH & Co KG (UKA) has placed an order for a further 39 wind turbines from German manufacturer Nordex Group, Nordex announced on Wednesday.
The machines of the N149/5.X, N163/5.X and N163/6.X series are expected to provide a total generation capacity of 253 megawatts (MW) after commissioning.
Nordex said it will also take over the premium service of the turbines for 20 years.
The turbines will be installed in 2025 for clean, low-cost and independent energy for six federal states, the company said.
Including the orders now placed, UKA has ordered 450 MW of wind turbines from Nordex in the last three months.
UKA managing partner Gernot Gauglitz said: "The energy transition has noticeably gained momentum in Germany.
"UKA will continue to play a central role in Germany's climate-friendly, affordable and independent electricity supply in the future.
"Nordex is a strong partner for us in this regard."
On the procurement side, UKA has extended an existing framework contract with Nordex. Further substantial orders are planned for 2024.
