Subtitle: Market entry in Romania with projects totalling 20 megawatts
Focus furthermore on Poland
Hamburg, 12 September 2011 (euro adhoc) - Nordex believes in the growth
potential of wind energy in Eastern Europe. As an example of this, business in
Romania is now also moving forward for the turbine manufacturer: this year the
company received the first two orders for a total of 20 megawatts. In addition
to this, it projects a growing demand for wind investments from Poland and
Bulgaria.
The two customers in Romania have each ordered four N100/2500 machines along
with long-term Service Agreements. Their wind farms are due to start operation
by the end of 2011 and will serve as references for future business in Romania.
The wind market potential is excellent, and it is expected that by the end of
2015 wind turbines with output of more than 3,000 megawatts will be in operation
here. "Our target is to achieve a significant market share. The first projects
are providing us with important experience for this. Being confident of the good
prospects of the Romanian renewable energy market, we plan to set up a branch in
the coming months," announces CSO Lars Bondo Krogsgaard.
Apart from Romania, Nordex is particularly focusing on Poland. Nordex is already
established in the Polish market via a subsidiary. Nordex Polska has connected
93 megawatts to the grid. A further 50 megawatts will be installed by the end of
2011. In future the company expects to supply Poland with more than 100
megawatts a year. One important growth driver will be Nordex´ new large
N117/2400 wind turbine which is a perfect match to low wind sites.
