Wind energy: German firm gets orders for turbines

FRANKFURT: German turbine manufacturer Nordex said that it has secured orders from four wind farm developers in Pakistan for up to 250MW of turbines. The company said the deals were subject to approval from Pakistani authorities. If they are approved the contracts will make Nordex the largest supplier to Pakistan’s emerging wind energy market. The new projects are to be located in southern Sindh, where according to government estimates up to 11GW of wind energy capacity could be exploited. “Pakistan is the most important Asian market outside China for Nordex today,” said company CSO Lars Bondo Krogsgaard.
