In September, the Nordex Group has received an order from the project company Hedet Vindpark Ab, jointly owned by French developer Neoen and German developer Prokon, for the installation of the 81 MW wind farm "Hedet". The project comprises 18 turbines from the new N149/4.0-4.5 series, which the Nordex Group is to install for its customer on a turnkey basis. Once all the turbines have been set up, Nordex and Hedet Vindpark Ab are to collaborate over the long term and have concluded a Premium Service contract covering a period of fifteen years.
Nordex will shortly be starting the preparatory work, such as road and foundation works. The first turbine is to be set up in mid-2019 and the wind farm will be connected to the grid in the course of the year.
"Hedet" lies in the west of Finland, near the town of Närpes, 15 kilometres from the coast of the Bothnian Bay. At the low to medium wind site the hub heights of the turbines will be 135 metres.
Earlier this year Google and Hedet Vindpark Ab signed a contract (Corporate PPA) for the purchase of renewable electricity from "Hedet" to supply a data centre.
