Editorial Dear reader, in this issue we again want to update you on some of our current projects. The successful installation of an N80 farm in Norway is particularly encouraging for us for a number of different reasons: Comprising 16 2.5 MW class turbines, it is the largest farm of its type to date. On top of this, its location – only 100 kilometers south of North Cape – is unique and posed considerable challenges during the installation phase. Yet, it also marks the entry into a new market offering strong potential. Size matters – this was the case in Germany for a long time. In this country, there is an unmistakable trend in favor of large turbines. Our most recent orders show that this trend is now also assuming international proportions. Customers from France, Ireland, the United Kingdom and other countries are increasingly opting for the largest available turbine. Nordex plays a leading role in the series-production of such turbines and we are doing everything we can to protect this position. To this end, we have unveiled the latest member of the N80 family – the N90, which went on line at Anklam, Germany, in the summer for the first time. With its larger rotor sweep, it is ideal for weaker wind conditions (page 4). In our main market Germany, business has again been very strong this year. As at the end of September, industry-wide new installed output was up roughly 35 % on the previous year. At the same time, Nordex was able to widen its market share to 11 % in the third quarter. We expect to receive further upwind of the continuation of the SPD/Green coalition government. The favorable results of the Green party in particular show that people in Germany attach importance to the careful use of natural resources. This is also reflected in recent opinion polls (page 22).
