Bulgueira Wind Farm
Nordex Most Recent
Achievement in Portugal
Nordex and HIDROERG Recursos Energéticos, S.A., placed in
Lisboa, started negotiating in 2001 to develop the Bulgueira
Wind Farm placed at an average altitude of 1100 m above sea
level. HIDROERG trusted once again the turnkey installation of
the project to the long-time qualified Nordex group supplying
the wind turbines, the electrical installation and civil works.
Nordex cooperates with a large number of Portuguese companies
according to its compromise of contributing to the local market
as far as the site of wind farms is concerned.
After evaluation of the wind measurement and site conditions,
the N50 was concluded to be the most profitable wind turbine.
With a proved power curve, this machine is particularly
suitable for sites of this kind and has been successfully installed

in many countries. The installation of the three wind turbines
took place in late 2002.
The project required the following civil works: preparation
of the access roads to the 10/60 KV substation, building of
foundations and platforms, trenches and the control building.
Likewise electrical installation works such as the medium-voltage
grid cells, earthing and the 60 KV cabling are included in
the electrical installation works.
With the establishment of our company in Spain and
Portugual in early 1998 and with the projects recently carried
out, Nordex plays today a leading role within the Portuguese
wind energy market.
for its customer Kyushu Electric Power, with completion
scheduled for March 2003. At the same time,
a further 10 turbines are being supplied to IHI for the
next stage of the project.
With 20 turbines and a nominal output of 26
megawatts, the Minami Osumi project will be one of
the largest wind farms in Japan. Located close
