Ørsted places first wind power order with Nordex in Ireland

Ørsted has placed an order with Nordex Group to supply and install nine N133/4800 wind turbines for the 43 MW Farranrory wind farm in Ireland. The order also includes a Premium Plus service contract under which Nordex will maintain the turbines for a period of 20 years from the date of commencement of service. The contract is the first agreement signed by Danish energy company Ørsted (one of the world’s largest renewable energy companies) and the Nordex Group.

The Nordex Group is installing the wind turbines for Farranrory on tubular steel towers and the delivery and installation programme will commence in summer 2025. Following completion and commissioning in 2026, Farranrory is expected to supply clean electricity to 25,000 Irish homes.
