Swift Current Energy of the USA has signed an agreement with the Nordex Group to purchase 41 N149/4.X wind turbines for its Castle Gap wind project. Both parties have also signed a 5-year O&M service contract.

Nordex Delta4000 turbines will be used in Swift Current’s 196 MW Castle Gap wind project in Mills and Lampasas counties, Texas, USA. The project is scheduled to start operations in late 2022.

Castle Gap will be Swift Current’s second large-scale wind development in Texas, the first being the 550 MW High Lonesome Wind project built in 2019.

Nordex will supply the turbines in steel tube towers with a hub height of 108 m. Delivery and installation of the turbines is scheduled for summer 2022, with commissioning for the end of the same year.

Eric Lammers, CEO of Swift Current, said: “Texas is the number one renewable energy generator in the USA, producing a quarter of the national total and more than 21 per cent of all electricity generation in the state. We are pleased to partner with the Nordex Group to secure turbines for our Castle Gap wind project and make a significant contribution to the clean energy landscape in Texas.”
