Nordex AG is erecting the ‘Uelitz’ wind farm near Schwerin in northern Germany for around € 34 million. The wind farm will consist of 17 turbines from the Nordex N90/2300kW and Nordex S77/1500kW series with hub heights of up to 100 metres. The client is the Danish investor group Scan Energy, which operates numerous wind farms in Germany and the rest of Europe.
In addition to building the wind turbines, Nordex is also responsible for the electrical infrastructure of the farm, including the necessary extension of the transformer substation. The company was already involved in the development of the project and, together with partners, arranged for fulfilment of the legal conditions required to install the turbines. The first building permits were granted as early as 2003. As a result of a leading decision by the Federal Administrative Court, however, Nordex had to comply with a supplementary approval procedure relating to emission law, and this was successfully completed in the summer of 2005. Work on the farm started at the beginning of September.
