Wedoany.com Report-Mar 22, A wind energy project developer has placed an order with the Nordex Group for the supply and installation of 16 N163/5.X turbines. The 94 MW order also includes the servicing of the turbines for a period of 25 years.
The Nordex Group will supply the turbines for the wind project in Nova Scotia from mid-2026, each with a nominal output of 5.9 MW. The cold climate turbines will be installed on 125-metre-high tubular steel towers and equipped with the Nordex Advanced Anti-Icing System for rotor blades. This ensures high availability of the turbines during the cold winter period.
"This is another project with which the Nordex Group is further expanding its market position in Canada," says Manav Sharma, CEO Division North America of the Nordex Group. "15 years ago, we integrated an anti-icing system for rotor blades into our turbines for the first time. Today, our proven anti-icing solution is one of the keys to our success in cold climate regions – such as Canada. Since ice formation on the rotor blade surface is prevented, ice-related downtimes are minimized."
The name of the customer and of the wind farm are not disclosed.
