The project is located in northern France and had been progressed by Nordex's project development arm in collaboration with French firm Maia Eolis.

Nordex will supply five N100 2.5MW turbines to the project from early 2017 and service the site for 15 years.

The German manufacturer said its development unit has produced 60 wind projects in Europe and the US, totalling more than 800MW.

Rive Private Investment is a renewable energy-focused joint venture between two French private-equity firms, 123Venture and Elyseum Investment.

The JV has invested in more than 140 renewable energy projects, totalling 420MW, Nordex said.
