German OEM Nordex Group has won a 180MW order from Vattenfall's Dutch unit Nuon to supply 50 of its N117/3600 turbines to the Wieringermeer project 60km north of Amsterdam.

The order is for a first phase of the Wieringermeer repowering project that is slated to eventually include 100 turbines and by 2020 produce 1.2 terawatt hours of electricity for a nearby international data centre run by Microsoft, Vattenfall said earlier this month.
