The Nordex Group has signed a multiyear supply agreement with US supplier TPI Composites for the delivery of NR-58.5 rotor blades.
Nordex uses the NR-58.5 in its N117/2400 turbine and will also be fitting it to the N117/3000 in the future. TPI will manufacture the NR-58.5 rotor blade at its Turkish plant in Izmir, with series production to commence as early as in February 2014 at this site. Employees from TPI Composites and Nordex rotor blade production will work together closely in setting up the production line. TPI operates the Izmir plant in a joint venture with ALKE INSAAT.
