German wind turbine manufacturer Nordex has introduced its N175/6.X onshore turbine model to the Canadian market, aiming to improve performance in low-temperature environments with technology adapted for cold climates.
The turbine, which features a 175-metre rotor and a rated output of up to 7 megawatts (MW), is built on the company’s existing Delta4000 platform and includes an advanced anti-icing system designed for reliable operation in temperatures as low as -30 degrees Celsius.
Nordex said the cold climate variant is intended to deliver higher energy yields in Canada’s often challenging winter conditions.
“The Nordex Group is currently strongly positioned to serve the Canadian market with our market-leading and established Delta4000 product platform,” said Manav Sharma, CEO North America at Nordex. “With today’s introduction of the N175/6.X, Canadian customers would now be able to benefit from our experience in the market alongside our latest technology evolution on our platform, which will reduce the levelized cost of energy and will bring additional features like our Advanced Anti Icing System and higher hub heights.”
The company added that the use of proven components from the Delta4000 series ensures continuity in design while adapting to region-specific needs.
Canada, with its vast land area and renewable energy goals, has been identified by turbine manufacturers as a strategic market for onshore wind growth, particularly in provinces with favourable wind conditions and grid integration potential.
