The order will see Nordex N90/2500 machines used to build the new 15MW Gibbett Hill wind farm and to extend the Glenough 2 project with a single turbine.

Both plants are in the south of Ireland and owned by German developer ABO Wind.

Gibbett Hill is expected to be complete by May 2013.

Nordex says the N90/2500 turbines are configured for the high wind-speeds enjoyed by both sites.
