The wind turbines will be located at the San Juan de Marcona wind farm, located in the southwest of the Peruvian country.

Hamburg, April 13, 2022 – At the end of March, the Spanish project developer Acciona Energía placed an order with the Nordex Group for 131 MW in Peru, which also has ongoing projects in the state of Bahia that will start in June this year.

The Nordex Group will supply 23 Delta163 series N5/4000.X turbines for the “San Juan de Marcona” wind farm. The project is Peru's first order for this type of turbine with a rotor diameter of 163 meters and a flexible rated power in the 5 MW class.

Acciona Energía takes care of transport and installation. The commissioning of turbines in tubular steel towers with a cube height of 148 meters should be carried out by the end of 2023.

The project will be built near San Juan de Marcona, capital of the Marcona district of the province of Nazca, located in the region of Ica, in southwestern Peru.

Average wind speeds in excess of 9 m/s at the site near the Pacific coast ensure that the 131 MW wind farm will produce a large amount of electricity.

For the Nordex Group, this is the third order from Peru. The country's first wind farm with 132 MW was completed by the Nordex Group in 2018. A further wind farm with 177 MW is currently under construction.
