Nordex Ireland: 27.5 MW for the Emerald Isle

Hamburg, 30 August 2016 The #nordex Group is supplying eleven N90/2500 turbines for Brookfield Renewable in #ireland. The "Slievecallan East" project is located on the west coast of the Republic and is due to start operation with a nominal output of 27.5 MW at the end of next year.

Nordex will be supplying the strong-wind turbines with 80-metre tubular steel towers and is in charge of the foundation work. The order also includes a 15-year Premium full-service contract. The site of the project is in County Clare and benefits from the strong Atlantic wind on the west coast of #ireland. The wind farm is named after the nearby Mount Slievecallan.

Brookfield Renewable is one of the largest publicly-traded pure-play renewable power platforms. Their portfolio consists of hydroelectric and wind facilities across North America, Latin America and Europe and totals more than 10,000 MW of capacity. In #ireland, Brookfield already own and operate more than 200 MW of #nordex turbines.
