Under the contract, Nordex will supply seven N100/2500 turbines at the site with installation set to begin in spring 2014.

A special purpose vehicle Eolsiponto, created by Capital Riesgo Global, a company of Banco Santander and Alerion Clean Power, is the investor of the Manfredonia project, which will generate about 40GWh of clean energy a year and curb CO2 emissions of some 40,000 tons.

Nordex board member Lars Bondo Krogsgaard said that the new contract, which the company won under the new auction system, is a good sign for its subsidiary in Italy.

"What is more, I am pleased that we have been able to convince Alerion of the quality of our turbines," added Krogsgaard.
