The Nordex Group has received a large order for 400 MW from Norway using wind turbines in the 5 MW+ class. The Nordex Group will supply and install 72 N149/5.X turbines, with 105-meter steel towers, at the Øyfjellet wind farm for a German investor. Following completion of the project in autumn 2021, the Nordex Group will be responsible for full maintenance of the wind turbines on the basis of a Premium Service contract for a minimum period of 20 years, with options to extend this contract up to a total of 30 years.
The Øyfjellet project located near the town of Mosjøen in the municipality of Vefsn was developed by Eolus Vind. This location is characterized by strong wind conditions and cold climate, which provides an excellent fit for the latest 5.X configuration of the Delta4000 technology platform, together with Nordex’s anti-icing system. The area with its sparse vegetation lies at mountainous altitudes between 600 – 800 meters above sea level.
Eolus Vind signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Alcoa Norway in 2018. Alcoa will purchase the clean electricity generated in the wind farm for 15 years in order to supply power to its aluminum production plant in nearby Mosjøen as well as the electricity needs of the local community.
