Company Information
Subtitle: Further calldown on the framework agreement with Eolia Renovables
Hamburg (euro adhoc) - Hamburg, 1 February 2012. Wind turbine manufacturer
Nordex has been awarded a contract for the assembly and installation of the
"Barbers" 30 MW wind farm, comprising twelve N90/2500 wind turbine systems. The
contract is based on a framework agreement entered into with power station
operator Eolia Renovables, which originally provided for a capacity of 150
megawatts. The co-investor is the Elecnor Group, whose core business entails
infrastructure projects including the construction and operation of wind farms.
The "Barbers" project will be built in the Spanish province of Tarragona in
Catalonia on a mountain ridge close to the coast at an altitude of around 400
metres. The nominal annual yield of the twelve multi-megawatt turbines will come
to 88 gigawatt/hours at this location.
Eolia Renovables has already commenced the preparatory civil works. Nordex will
be installing the first turbines in April, with the wind farm to go on grid in
summer 2012.
