The Nordex group has launched a 140-metre rotor option for its Acciona Windpower brand AW3000 wind turbine platform for moderate wind sites, aimed at non-European grid constrained markets.

The design of the AW140/3000 is optimized for specific low-wind conditions which make the turbine a perfect fit for certain markets like India, Nordex says, but it will also be an option in various geographies.
