Nordex Strengthens Repowering Position in the Market: Nordex Receives Major Order for Wind Farm Modernization in Lower Saxony
Hamburg, Germany – The Nordex Group has secured another significant order in the German wind energy market. As the company announced on Thursday, it has been commissioned by Umwelt Management AG (UMaAG) from Cuxhaven to deliver and install eight N163/6.X wind turbines with a total capacity of 56 MW.
As part of the project, a 20-year premium service agreement was also signed. In addition to delivery and installation, Nordex will assume long-term technical service and maintenance of the wind turbines. This order highlights the strategic importance of repowering initiatives in the German onshore wind market.
Uwe Leonhardt, Board Member of UMaAG, is confident: “With the repowering project in the district of Stade, we are taking the next step towards more efficient, more powerful wind farms. Nordex is an important partner for us in implementing the energy transition reliably and effectively in the region.”
Nordex also emphasizes the significance of the project: “ We are pleased to be working with UMaAG on the repowering of the Drochtersen project. By replacing the existing old turbines with modern, powerful wind turbines, we are not only significantly increasing the efficiency but also the power generation capacity of the site. The project shows the potential of repowering older onshore wind farms in Germany – both in terms of the energy transition and space efficiency,” says Karsten Brüggemann, Vice President Region Central at the Nordex Group.
With more than 400 installed wind turbines in Germany and Poland, UMaAG is one of the established medium-sized players in the renewable energy sector. In addition to wind power, the company is also active in the fields of solar energy, biomass, and energy-efficient residential construction.
