The Nordex Group has received an order from NaturEner USA to extend services for a 400MW fleet of turbines of its Acciona Windpower brand in the US state of Montana.

“We are pleased to continue our long-standing relationship with the Nordex Group and to extend our O&M agreements,” said NaturEner USA president Jim Kutey.

“By renewing our contracts, we are continuing to rely on the Nordex Group to provide reliable, high performance, cost effective O&M services. Our shared goal is to maximize safe, reliable operations for years to come.”

The related wind projects are: Glacier Wind phases 1 & 2, located near Ethridge and Rim Rock, located near Kevin.

The three wind projects consist of 266 units of AW77/1500 Acciona Windpower machines.

Nordex had been providing O&M services to each of the projects since operations commenced in 2009. This extension renews the service agreements for up to 10 years.

The OEM’s service order backlog in North America currently is comprised of 4.2GW of assets.
