Consolis enters agreement with Nordex for wind turbine tower manufacturing

Consolis Latvia SIA, a leading supplier of precast concrete solutions, has signed a partnership agreement with Nordex Group, a global leader in wind turbine manufacturing on production of precast concrete components to be used in wind turbine towers.  

Consolis will make a significant investment in modernization of its production plant at Rumbula and shall create 100 jobs. Nordex will provide tower moulds valued at ca. EUR 1.5 million.  

The investment to modernize Consolis’ production plant will enable Latvia to become a future producer and exporter of crucial components for wind energy infrastructure supply chains. Notably, for the first time in Latvia’s history, a part of wind turbine towers will be manufactured locally. 

The first project on which the parties will cooperate is Laflora project developed by Latvenergo AS at a former peat mining site on Kaigu bog. It will consist of 16 towers with Nordex wind turbines and a total capacity of 108.8 MW. After commissioning, the wind farm is expected to generate more than 350 GWh of electricity annually, providing electricity to more than 160,000 households. Laflora project shall be a sizeable addition to green energy supply in Latvia. 

COBALT team including Managing Partner Dace Silava-Tomsone and Associate Katrīna Annija Ročāne provides legal support to Consolis in the project, including legal advice on entering agreement with Nordex.
