Ørsted places its maiden order with the Irish entity of the Nordex Group


Hamburg, 12 September 2024. Ørsted has placed an order with the Nordex Group to supply and install nine N133/4800 turbines for the 43 MW Farranrory wind farm in Ireland. The order also includes a Premium Plus Service agreement contract where Nordex will service the turbines for a period of 20 years from the service commencement date. The contract is the first agreement entered into by Danish Energy company, Ørsted – one of the largest renewable energy companies in the world – and the Nordex Group.
