Ørsted places its maiden order with the Irish entity of the Nordex Group

Hamburg – Ørsted has placed an order with the Nordex Group to supply and install nine N133/4800 turbines for the 43 MW Farranrory wind farm in Ireland. The order also includes a Premium Plus Service agreement contract where Nordex will service the turbines for a period of 20 years from the service commencement date.
