Nordex awarded contracts for 148 MW in Argentina

By Michelle Froese | January 5, 2017

Since the companies merged, Acciona’s AW125/3000 is now part of the Nordex platform as well. The turbine optimizes energy generation in medium wind sites with low turbulence intensity.

With the award of two contracts for the construction of wind farms with a combined capacity of 148 MW, the Nordex Group has successfully entered the new growth market Argentina in December.

Nordex will supply 32, AW 125/3000 turbines for the La Castellana wind project, and another 15 for the Archiras wind facility. Construction is to commence in the fourth quarter of 2017 for expected completion in the summer 2018.

In both projects, 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.

The contracts are the result of the first tender for delivery contracts for “green electricity” in Argentina. In October 2016, the government awarded contracts for a total capacity of more than 1.1 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.
