The customer is Pennant Walters, a subsidiary of the Walters Group, which develops wind farms in Wales. The orders for a total of 35 Mw of capacity are the first that the Hamburg-based firm has ever received from a Welsh customer.
Pennant Walters has also signed a contract with Nordex for 10 years of premium turbine service.
The project is expected to supply about 118 gigawatt hours of electricity a year, sufficient to supply 45,000 households with clean electricity.
"Pennant Walters wants to help the British government meet its targets for renewable energy. We hope that this first joint wind farms will form the foundation for a good partnership which we can follow up when our customer puts the next projects out for tender," said Nordex COO Sales & Marketing Lars Bondo Krogsgaard.
For Nordex this is the third major order from the UK in this financial year: the company currently has order receipts of 67 turbines with a total of 116 MW in this market taking the total UK projects to around 800 MW.
"This makes the UK one of the principal mainstays of our new business in 2011," Krogsgaard said.
