Nordex Q2 orders rise on U.S. demand

July 9 (Reuters) - Onshore wind turbine manufacturer Nordex said on Thursday its project orders in the second quarter rose year-on-year to 3,054 MW megawatts (MW), boosted by significant orders from the U.S.

The German company reported project orders totalling 2,310 MW in the April to June period last year.

"With an order intake of around 800 megawatts in the U.S. this quarter, we've reached an important milestone," chief executive Jose Luis Blanco said in a statement.
