The wind turbine manufacturer has now signed the second contract with the wind farm's owners, Østfold Energi AS, EB Kraftproduksjon, Fitjar Kraftlag SA and Vardar AS, for the delivery and installation of 23 additional Nordex wind turbines.
The turbines will be utilized as a component of the phase two expansion of the project.
Upon completion of this phase, the combined 110 MW Midtfjellet wind farm located on the island of Stord will become one of the Norways largest wind projects.
“Securing the combined Midtfjellet wind farm is an important milestone for Nordex and is a strong sign of faith in the Nordex product and organization," said Lars Bondo Krogsgaard, Chief Customer Officer of Nordex SE.
"We have worked intimately and diligently with MVAS and are well on the track of ensuring the successful execution of the project. Midtfjellet will become the key reference project for our future Norwegian activitie,” Bondo continued.
Civil works are currently in the finishing stages with wind turbine deliveries starting mid-July 2012 for phase 1, consisting of 21 N90/2,500 turbines.
For phase 2 Nordex will deliver a mix of wind prodcuts, including thirteen N90/2500 turbines and ten N100/2500 turbine, to maximize the energy yield.
Deliveries will start mid March 2013. Both agreements include five-year premium service contracts with option for a further ten years.
