Nordex has made a successful return to the
Swedish market with two major contracts. The two wind farms with 
installed capacity of 35 and 15 megawatts, respectively, have a 
combined value of EUR 47 million. "We owe this success to our new 
branch in Sweden," explains Carsten Pedersen, COO Sales and Marketing
at Nordex AG. Nordex had retreated from Sweden in 2003 as the market 
did not generate sufficient business. In August 2006, the team 
re-established operations in Uppsala near Stockholm.
The new contracts prove that Nordex was right to take this step. Work
on constructing the Bondön wind farm is to commence at the end of 
2007. Comprising 14 turbines N90/2,500 kW, the project is being 
executed for Danish developer Global Green Energy. Nordex is selling 
the second project - Huds Moar - to the in 2005 es-tablished operator
Rabbaldshedde Kraft. The six N90/2,500 kW turbines are to go into 
operation at a site north of Gothenburg in spring 2008.
This year, Nordex will be recruiting project managers and service 
staff for the Swedish branch. Explains Pedersen: "We expect to 
receive further contracts in the near future and want to reinforce 
our local team to handle the projects more efficiently. We have in 
the N90/2500 an ideal turbine for wind speeds in Sweden and are now 
offering a modified climate version of this model." This will ensure 
production in sub-zero temperatures of up to 20 degrees.
The strong demand for wind turbines in Sweden is being driven by the 
obligation which has been imposed on utilities to generate at least 
16 percent of their output from renewable sources. At the same time, 
the prices of wind-generated electricity are tied to spot electricity
prices, which are currently rising, as well as the price of traded 
green certificates. The price of electricity in the Scandinavian 
Nordpool electricity exchange rose by almost 40 percent in 2006.
