Nordex‘ new manufacturing plant in Jonesboro, Arkansas will produce the turbines.
The contract includes a 10-year premium service contract, as well as the delivery, installation, commissioning and testing of 17 Nordex N100 turbines.
The Elk Wind Farm is Nordex’ first project with RPM Access, and represents the second order Nordex has received since dedicating its plant in October.
Elk Wind is a construction-ready project slated for completion in October 2011.
RPM Access will own and operate the wind farm, and Central Iowa Power Cooperative will purchase the power via a 20-year power purchase agreement.
Based in West Des Moines, RPM Access has initiated the development of six operating wind projects in Iowa, representing 370MW, over the past 10 years.
