Nordex has received an order from a new customer, Companhia Paraneanse de Energia (COPEL) for the supply and construction of 26 AW132/3465 wind turbines in Brazil. The order also includes servicing the machines, with a contract term of 20 years.

The 90MW Jandaíra Copel wind farm will be built near the city of Jandaíra in the state of Rio Grande do Norte in eastern Brazil. The Nordex Group will manufacture the 26 turbines at its production facility in Simões Filho. The turbines will be installed on 120m concrete towers, which the Group will manufacture at its local plant in Areia Branca, not far from the site. The company will also source the rotor blades locally. Completion of the wind farm is scheduled for 2022.

This order is the first for Nordex Group from COPEL and the second from a public utility in Brazil.
