Italy - Nordex flexing its muscles

In 2009, the Nordex Group widened its share of the high-growth Italian market to 15 percent, in-stalling new wind power systems with a capacity of 167 mega-watts. Accordingly, in the space of only around three years after realigning itself, Nordex Italia has already emerged as the third largest operator in this expansionary market. In the same period, volume sales of wind turbines in Italy grew by an annual average of 38 percent, with total installed capacity currently standing at 4,850 MW.

“We materially owe this success to our local skills in executing complex large-scale projects,” says Francesco Paolo Liuzzi, man-aging director of Nordex Italia. Just recently, his team completed the country’s largest wind farm to date, the Monte Grighine wind farm near Oristano, Sardinia, comprising 43 N90/2300 multi-megawatt turbines with an installed capacity of almost 100 mega-watts. Nordex is going for size in its products as well. Explains Liuzzi: “Ten years ago, Nordex was the first to enter the 2.5 MW class. Today, we offer technically mature versions of this platform covering nearly all wind conditions.” In particular, the N100/2500 has been specially developed for markets such as Italy which ex-hibit numerous moderate wind fields.
