The Nordex Group has received an order for AW132/3465 turbines from Brazil. The manufacturer will supply 17 turbines for Voltalia Brasil, for its 58.8 MW Ventos Serra do Mel 4 (VSM4) wind farm.
The order also includes a service agreement for service and maintenance of the turbines for a period of 15 years. The wind farm VSM 4 will be built in Voltalia’s Serra Branca Cluster located in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, near to the city of Serra do Mel in the north-east of Brazil. The Nordex Group will install the 17 turbines for VSM 4 on 120 metre concrete towers produced by its local factory in Areia Branca, Rio Grande do Norte. The company will manufacture the nacelles in its plant in Simões Filho in Bahia as well as purchasing the rotor blades from Brazil. Installation works on VSM 4 are due to start in 2020, with full commissioning scheduled for spring 2021.
