- • Nordex is commissioning the largest wind farm in Uruguay (142 MW) to date
- The manufacturer also supplied and commissioned the first turbine installed in Uruguay, back in 1999
Hamburg, 11 October 2016. The Nordex Group, a wind turbine manufacturer with more than 20,000 MW installed capacity globally, has made wind history in Uruguay. The country reached 1,000 MW of wind power connected to the grid with a N117/2400 MW turbine, which was the 13th to be commissioned at the “Pampa” wind farm.
Nordex thereby strengthens its support of wind energy in Uruguay and maintains its firm commitment to this market, 17 years after having also installed the first wind turbine in the country, a N27/150 KW model, in 1999.
In the words of Patxi Landa, CSO of Nordex SE: “We are very proud to be part of the realization of UTE´s vision of changing the energy landscape in Uruguay. This, a country in which we have installed more than 300 MW to date, and we intend to continue increasing that figure.”
