The Hamburg-based firm received the order from VenSol Neue Energien GmbH and Honold GmbH Windkraftanlagen, the two entities developing the wind farm in shire of Dillingen. Once the facility is completed, it will have an installed capacity of 24 MW.
With rotor blades measuring almost 60 metres in length, the N117/2014 is to go into series production in summer 2012. As the wind farm is located in a forest, Nordex will be supplying a hub height of 120 metres to optimise the energy yield of the turbines.
The ten 2.4 megawatt turbines will be generating sufficient energy to supply around 15,000 homes - an equivalent to around one third of power consumption in the entire shire.
“The Zöschingen wind farm is a perfect reference for us for further projects in Southern Germany. With its large rotor sweep, the N117/2400 is a highly attractive solution in economic terms for locations in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg as well as Hesse and Rhineland-Palatinate,” said Lars Bondo Krogsgaard, the member of Nordex SE’s Management Board responsible for sales, service and project management. “Our customers have made the right decision in selecting our onshore turbine.”v
The wind farm operating company has several hundred limited partners and cooperative members from the region.
