Nordex is launching the new N117/3600 for sites with moderate winds and the N131/3600 for light winds.

"With these turbines customers can produce an up to 12% higher yield," said Nordex chief executive Lars Bondo Krogsgaard.

"By 2018 we at Nordex want to reduce the cost of energy by 18%. These two turbines represent a major step in this direction as ultimately they make wind-generated electricity more profitable."
