The Nordex Group has received an order from an undisclosed project developer in the U.S.
Starting in spring 2020, Nordex will install 63 AW125/3150 wind turbines for a Texas wind farm. The project will have a combined rated output of 198 MW.
The order uses some equipment from a safe harbor transaction dating back to 2016. Through a 5% safe harbor qualification, equipment purchased in 2016 can qualify customers’ projects for 100% of the production tax credit if placed in service by the end of 2020. The Nordex Group received advanced payment for these components and produced them in the same year.
With a hub height of 87.5 meters, the turbines for this project will be installed on steel towers.
