Nordex Secures New Orders for N175/6.X: Onshore Wind Turbine with 199-Meter Hub Height sets new Benchmarks - Shares Rise
Hamburg (Germany) - The Nordex Group has secured additional projects in the onshore wind segment in Germany and Serbia, continuing its positive momentum in order intake. The focus is on the N175/6.X turbine, which is designed for a range of site conditions with large hub heights and tailored technical solutions. The company’s shares are up today.
Record project in North Rhine-Westphalia: N175/6.X with 199-meter hub height
The Nordex Group has received its first order for a turbine of the N175/6.X type with a hub height of 199 meters. The Marienmünster-Altenbergen project in North Rhine-Westphalia marks an important step in the development of the Delta4000 platform.
The customer is Westfälisch-Niedersächsische Energie GmbH & Co. KG. The project includes the supply and installation of three turbines, each with a capacity of 7 MW. The turbines will be installed on a hybrid tower consisting of concrete and steel components. Foundation construction is scheduled to begin in September 2026, with commissioning planned for summer 2027.
Thanks to the large hub height of 199 meters and a total blade tip height of over 286 meters, the N175/6.X can generate electricity even at very low wind speeds, according to Nordex. The greater hub height allows more stable wind flows to be reached earlier, significantly increasing turbine availability, particularly during periods of low wind.
Karsten Brüggemann, Vice President Region Central at Nordex, explains: “Nordex is now able to supply wind turbines with a hub height of 199 metres. With the N175/6.X at this hub height, we are opening up entirely new possibilities for our customers in terms of economical and market-oriented wind power generation compared to other turbine types.”
“The extraordinary hub height of 199 meters represents an important step for our region in moving away from fossil fuels toward renewable energy, thanks to the increased reliability of wind turbine yields,” emphasizes Alexander Möhring, Managing Director of Westfälisch-Niedersächsische Energie WNE.
The N175/6.X is part of the Delta4000 platform and combines a rotor diameter of 175 meters with a large swept area. Nordex builds on extensive experience in hybrid tower technology, which has already been deployed in several European markets.
International order from Serbia: Turbines adapted to climatic conditions
In addition to the order from Germany, Nordex announced this week a contract for the Jasikovo wind farm in Serbia. The order includes the supply and installation of eleven turbines with a total capacity of around 70 MW.
The turbines will be installed on 119-meter steel tubular towers and operated at up to 7 MW each. The project also includes a premium service agreement for 30 years, with an option to extend by an additional five years.
A key feature is the integration of the Nordex anti-icing system, which ensures reliable operation under winter conditions and increases turbine availability.
The Jasikovo wind farm is located in the Serbian Carpathians, about 175 kilometers southeast of Belgrade and around six kilometers southwest of the village of Jasikovo. The site offers favorable wind conditions, with an average wind speed of around 8 m/s at hub height.
Commissioning is scheduled for 2027. Once operational, the wind farm is expected to generate more than 270 million kWh (270 GWh) of electricity annually, according to Nordex.
Paris Lappas, Director Sales Mediterranean East at Nordex, emphasizes: “This project once again underlines the strong competitiveness of our N175/6.X turbine and the growing demand for high performance solutions in South Eastern Europe. Jasikovo marks the first time that Nordex turbines in Serbia are outfitted with our Anti-Icing System.”
With the Jasikovo project, Nordex’s total installed capacity in Serbia will increase to 425 MW.
