Hrvatska elektroprivreda (HEP Group) has placed an order with Nordex Group for the supply of 18 N131/3600 turbines for the Korlat wind farm. The Nordex Group is also responsible for service and maintenance of the turbines for a period of 20 years on the basis of a Premium Service Agreement. For the HEP Group this is the first wind farm in its power plant portfolio.
Korlat is to be set up some 40 kilometres from the port of Zadar, near to Benkovac, a town in the interior of the country. The wind farm has an altitude of between 270 and 340 metres above sea level. The wind speed at the site is a moderate 7.2 metres per second, ideal conditions for the N131/3600, which is specifically designed for moderate and very low wind speeds. Start of the delivery of the turbines is end of 2019. The plant is scheduled to go into operation in mid of 2020.
The wind farm Korlat expected production is around 170 GWh, which is around 1.5% of Croatian electricity consumption.
