Nordex has gained a further major project from the British Isles in a contract worth approx. EUR 60 million. Falck Renewables Ltd. has ordered 19 N90/2500 HS (high-speed) multi-megawatt turbines for the Kilbraur wind farm in Scotland. The order includes a five-year service contract together with the provision of wind farm civil and electrical infrastructure.

The wind farm is located in Strathbrora, north of Golspie in the northern of Scotland. Situated some 300 meters above sea level, the site has mean wind speeds of approx. 9.0 m/s at a tower height of 70 meters, thus offering ideal conditions for the strong-wind version of the N90/2500 turbine. Work is to commence on site in April 2007, with the 19 multi-megawatt turbines going live early 2008.

After Earlsburn (15 N80/2500 turbines) and Millenium (16 N90/2500 turbines), Kilbraur marks the third contract which Nordex has been awarded by Falck Renewables within the space of 12 months. The London-based subsidiary of the Italian Falck Group is currently working with local partners to assemble a portfolio of wind farms across Europe. Falck has 11 projects in operation or construction in the UK, Spain, Italy and France and over 1000 MW in development.
