Hamburg, 22 August 2018. On 21 August 2018, the first of two N149/4.0-4.5 turbines with a nominal output of 4.5 megawatt was installed at the Wennerstorf II wind farm located roughly 30 kilometres south of Hamburg. “We are pleased to have completed this beacon project in time for the commencement of WindEnergy Hamburg 2018. In addition to our turbines at the port of Hamburg, the N149/4.0-4.5 in the vicinity of the Nordex main office in Hamburg is another impressive project with which we can demonstrate the Nordex Group’s state-of-the-art technology to our customers,” says Jörg Hempel, who is in charge of German business at Nordex Group.
The turbines in Wennerstorf II are just the beginning. Says Karsten Brüggemann, Head of Global Sales at Nordex Group: “We have received very favourable feedback from our customers. Many customers in Europe and other parts of the world have already included the turbines in the necessary approval procedures”.
Originally, the Wennerstorf wind farm consisted of four turbines, each with a nominal output of 1.3 megawatts, which had been producing electricity since 2003. In 2015 the developer ABO Wind decided to repower this site with the latest technology by replacing the old turbines with new ones. In doing so, it opted for the first turbine from the Delta4000 product series, the N149/4.0-4.5: With a total installed output of 9 megawatts, the capacity of the Wennerstorf II wind farm will increase by 73 percent.
