Nordex Group has secured an order for 94MW of wind turbines for a project in Nova Scotia, Canada. The order, placed by an energy project developer, includes the supply and installation of 16 N163/5.X turbines, each with a nominal output of 5.9MW. The agreement also covers servicing for a period of 25 years.
The turbines, set to be delivered by mid-2026, will be equipped with Nordex's Advanced Anti-Icing System, designed for cold climates. The system ensures the high availability of the turbines during harsh winter conditions, minimizing the risk of ice-related downtimes. The turbines will be mounted on 125-meter-high tubular steel towers.
Manav Sharma, Chief Executive for Nordex's North America division, highlighted the company's continued growth in the Canadian market. “This is another project with which the Nordex Group is further expanding its market position in Canada,” Sharma said. “Fifteen years ago, we integrated an anti-icing system for rotor blades into our turbines for the first time. Today, our proven anti-icing solution is one of the keys to our success in cold climate regions – such as Canada.”
While the name of the customer and the specific wind farm have not been disclosed, the order marks a significant step for Nordex as it continues to strengthen its presence in North America, particularly in regions with challenging weather conditions.
