VERBUND Green Power has signed a multi-year framework agreement with the Nordex Group covering the potential supply of up to 700MW of onshore wind turbines across six European markets.
The agreement, signed on 16 January in Madrid, will run until 2030 and support VERBUND Green Power’s wind project pipeline in Austria, Germany, Spain, Italy, Romania and Albania, the companies said.
Under the framework, up to 105 Nordex turbines could be delivered, representing around half of VERBUND Green Power’s planned wind capacity, subject to project approvals and final commercial agreements.
VERBUND said the deal underpins its Mission V strategy, which aims to accelerate the expansion of wind and solar as the group diversifies beyond its traditional hydropower portfolio.
“This collaboration with Nordex supports our strategic objective of scaling up renewable generation across Europe,” said Michael Strugl, chief executive of VERBUND. “It strengthens our supply options as our projects mature, allowing us to secure the supply chain in a very competitive environment and deliver on Mission V targets, contributing to a secure and accelerated energy transition in our markets.”
Nordex said the framework provides a clear pathway to convert VERBUND’s development pipeline into operating capacity using its latest turbine technology.
“We are very proud of our partnership with VERBUND Green Power,” said José Luis Blanco, chief executive of the Nordex Group. “Through this multi-year framework, Nordex will provide the turbine capacity to convert an ambitious pipeline into clean generation across six multi-country markets in Europe.”
The agreement is expected to include Nordex’s 7MW-class onshore turbines. Nordex noted that it received its first order from VERBUND in Romania late last year, for nine N175/6.X turbines, marking an expansion of its footprint in the country.
