The Nordex Group has won another order from Ukraine. For the Eco-Optima Group, the Nordex Group is supplying ten N149/5.X turbines for the 54.6 MW "Skolivska" wind farm. The order also includes a Premium Service contract for the maintenance of the turbines over a period of 15 years.

The "Skolivska" wind farm is the first Ukrainian project to use Nordex turbines in the 5 MW class. The wind farm is being built near the city of Lviv in western Ukraine. Installation is scheduled to start in spring 2022.

"We are very pleased to note that the implementation for the start of the Skolivska wind farm project became possible thanks to very rapid and consolidated decisions of the Nordex team and we hope for a further long-term cooperation with the Nordex Group. The use of renewable energy sources will strengthen Ukraine's energy independence, which is very actual nowadays and such renewable projects are timely and very important for Ukraine", says Zinovii Kozytskyi, Head of Eco-Optima Supervisory Board.

"We are glad to strengthen our presence in Ukraine by starting the construction of one of the biggest wind farms in the west of the country", says Slava Feklin, Managing Director Ukraine/CIS of the Nordex Group. "The Skolivska wind farm will be able to provide green energy for 80,000 households during the year, avoiding the equivalent of 150,000 tons of CO2 emissions and will support the decarbonisation efforts of Ukraine's energy mix."
