The Nordex Group has secured new orders from Germany totalling around 255 MW in the first months of the second quarter. The orders cover 14 wind projects with a combined 39 turbines, the Hamburg-based manufacturer said.
Customers ordered 19 N163/6.X turbines, eleven N175/6.X machines and nine N149 units. All the contracts include service and maintenance agreements intended to keep the turbines running reliably over the long term.
One of the named projects is the Rheine-Catenhorn community wind farm in North Rhine-Westphalia, a 35 MW scheme for which Nordex will supply and install five N163/6.X turbines on 164-metre hub heights. The order was placed in cooperation with developer BBWind and will be built as a citizen wind project. Such projects let municipalities and residents share directly in a wind farm’s revenue while benefiting from current turbine technology.
“Citizen wind farms play a central role in Germany’s energy transition,” said Karsten Brüggemann, Nordex vice president for the Central region. Nordex and BBWind have worked together in North Rhine-Westphalia since 2014, bringing 26 turbines and more than 100 MW online; recent months added a further 78 MW for BBWind community projects. The names of the other customers and sites were not disclosed, with construction and commissioning of all the projects planned between summer 2027 and spring 2028.
For the Baltic onshore market, the order book is a useful signal. Nordex’s product line concentrates on turbines for countries with limited siting space and constrained grid capacity, the same conditions facing much of the southern Baltic, and the bundling of community ownership with turbine supply points to a model that pairs local acceptance with deployment at scale.
