Nordex Group has received an order from Austrian utility Verbund to supply and install twelve N163/6.X wind turbines at the 84 MW Spille wind farm in Albania. The contract marks Nordex’s entry into the Albanian market and includes a 15-year premium service agreement.
Spille is the first wind energy project in Albania. Verbund won the project in an international tender. The wind farm will be built about 50 kilometres south of the port city of Durrës, on steel tubular towers with a hub height of 113 metres. Commissioning is planned for spring 2028.
The order follows a multi-year framework agreement signed by Nordex and Verbund Green Power in January 2026, covering the potential supply of up to 700 MW of turbines for projects in six European markets. Albania is among the countries named in that agreement.
Dietmar Reiner, Managing Director of Verbund Green Power, called Spille a milestone for Albania’s energy transition and an important step in Verbund’s growth strategy. Nordex CEO José Luis Blanco said the project shows the growing opportunities for wind power in the country.
Albania’s electricity supply has traditionally relied heavily on hydropower, and the country aims to diversify its generation mix with wind and solar. For Baltic readers, the order is a data point on where Nordex, whose onshore turbines are also installed across Germany and Poland, is placing its capacity in 2026-2028.
