The new contract is based on a framework agreement signed with power station operator Eolia Renovables, which originally provided for a capacity of 150MW.

Under the contract, Nordex has agreed to assemble and install the 30MW Barbers wind farm.

The Barbers power project, which comprises of twelve units of N90/2500 wind turbine system, will be constructed in the Spanish province of Tarragona in Catalonia on a mountain ridge close to the coast at an altitude of around 400 metres.

The co-investor is the Elecnor Group, whose core business entails infrastructure projects including the construction and operation of wind farms.

The twelve multi-megawatt turbines are expected to generate 88GWh of energy annually.

Eolia Renovables has already commenced the preparatory civil works.

Nordex will be installing the first turbines in April, with the wind farm to go on grid in summer 2012.
