WPD has placed an order with the Nordex Group for the N163/5.X turbines in Finland. The Nordex Group will supply 17 turbines from the Delta4000 series for the 96.9 MW Nuolivaara wind farm. The order also includes a Premium Service contract covering a period of 15 years and an option to extend by a further five years.
The Nuolivaara wind farm will be built some 25 kilometers to the northeast of the center of Kemijärvi, between the municipalities of Kemijärvi and Salla in the north of Finland. Due to the harsh, cold climate to the north of the Polar Circle, the Nordex Group will be supplying the turbines in the cold-climate version. This means that the turbines can be operated at temperatures down to -30 C. The rotor blades will be equipped with the Advanced Anti-Icing System. The system prevents the rotor blades from icing before ice starts to form. This reduces power losses significantly as the turbines can be operated continuously also in harsh Nordic conditions.
Installation of the wind farm is due to be completed in 2022. The Nordex Group will supply the turbines in the project-specific 5.7 MW operating mode on tubular steel towers with a hub height of 159 meters.
