Nordex has been awarded a turbine delivery order for a 111MW wind power project in South Africa.

The South African subsidiary of the German wind equipment manufacturer has won the deal through competitive bidding.

Nordex Management Board member Lars Bondo Krogsgaard said: “The establishment of a local company in 2012 marked an important strategic step forward in our efforts to position ourselves in the emerging South African market. In this way, we are able to handle local projects more swiftly and competently.”

The name of the project and its developer have not been disclosed by Nordex, however, the delivery order may be for Enel Green Power’s Gibson Bay wind farm, reports ReNews.
