Nordex has been selected by VSB Energies Nouvelles to supply N117/2400 wind turbine.
VSB Energies Nouvelles is planning to install the Lazenay wind farm with seven N117/2400 wind turbines.
Located in the middle of France in the Département of Cher, the wind farm is characterised by lower wind speeds of around 6mps.
Nordex SE management board member Lars Bondo Krogsgaard said, "We are pleased to see that the important French market is now also receiving the N117/2400 well."
VSB Energies Nouvelles CEO Emmanuel Macqueron said VSB Energies is the first company to install Nordex N117/2400 turbines in France.
"It is our first contract with Nordex for France, where we intend to start a constructive collaboration together. Thanks to the N117 engine, we are today able to get financial balance for low speed wind farms and optimise our wind farms to follow the coming evolution of the regulation," Macqueron added.
