As per the order, Nordex will provide 21 units of N90/2500 wind turbine to be installed in the Baillie wind farm during August 2012.

The 52.5MW Baillie wind facility is to be built near the north coast of Scotland.

The Baillie wind farm was developed by Steven and Thomas Pottinger who remain partners with Statkraft and are developing further wind turbine sites in the area.

The installation of wind turbines is expected to generate a yield of about 180GWh a year, enough to meet the demand from some 39,000 British households.

Statkraft has also signed a premium service agreement with Nordex for five years.

Nordex managing director Bryan Grinham said the N90/2500 is the most cost-efficient machine providing high wind yield at a tough site. In the UK and Ireland there are many invitations to tender for high-wind regions.
