Business in Ukraine continues to improve for the Nordex Group: End of September, the regular Turkish customer, Eksim Holding of Istanbul, ordered 14 N149/4.X turbines for its first wind project in Ukraine. The order also includes a Premium Service contract covering a period of 15 years.

The "Skole" wind farm, with a total capacity of 67.2 MW, will be built near the city of Skole in West Ukraine. Installation of the turbines is scheduled to start in March 2022. The fourteen turbines will then feed clean electricity into the Ukrainian grid as of in the third quarter of 2022 at full capacity. The Nordex Group will supply the turbines in the cold-climate version in order to ensure a high level of availability in the cold season as well.

Eksim has been in wind energy business since 2011, and is now operating eight wind farms with 451 MW total capacity in Turkey, and all of them are built with Nordex turbines. With the Skole Project, Eksim and Nordex carried their business collaboration to Ukraine. The Skole project will be Eksim's first wind park investment outside of Turkey.

"We are happy to support Eksim with their first wind project in this country. Today we have capacities of 322 MW in Ukraine connected to the grid."
