The Nordex Group has received orders from German developer UKA for 33 wind turbines with a combined capacity of 224.4 megawatts, the company said, extending an existing framework agreement between the two groups.
Nordex said the order comprises N175/6.X turbines to be installed across nine wind farms in regions including Brandenburg, Thuringia and North Rhine-Westphalia. The contracts also include 20-year premium service agreements.
Construction and commissioning are expected to begin from 2027, subject to project and site schedules. The turbines will be mounted on 179-metre hybrid towers, Nordex said.
“In a market environment that has become more challenging, we are making good progress with the realization of our project pipeline,” Gernot Gauglitz, managing partner of the UKA Group, said in a statement.
“The turbines we use are one of the factors contributing to the profitability of our projects,” Gauglitz added, noting that the latest order brings UKA’s firm commitments under the partnership to an additional 224 MW.
Nordex said the deal further strengthens its long-standing relationship with the developer.
“These latest orders further deepen the successful collaboration between the Nordex Group and UKA,” Karsten Brüggemann, vice president for the central region at Nordex, said.
He added that UKA had selected the manufacturer’s most powerful turbines. “We are pleased that UKA has once again chosen our most powerful wind turbines from our portfolio and is also opting for a large hub height of 179 metres with the N175/6.X for these projects,” Brüggemann said.
