Germany’s Nordex Group to Supply 82-MW Turbines to Landwind Group

Leading European wind turbines manufacturer Nordex Group has announced that it has received an order for 81.6 MW from the Landwind Group. The Nordex Group will supply 12 N163/6.X turbines that will be distributed among four wind farm sections in eastern Lower Saxony, Germany.

Nordex Group held that the order also includes premium service for the turbines covering a period of 20 years.

Under the project name “Gevensleben” the wind farms are to be built in the districts of Helmstedt and Wolfenbüttel in Germany. The turbines in the 6 MW class on hybrid towers with a hub height of 164 metres are scheduled to start operation as of winter 2023.

Nordex stated that the turbines will produce some 180 million KWh of green electricity which is enough to save up to 128,000 tons of CO2 annually.

Alexander Heidebroek, CEO, Landwind Group, said, “As these powerful turbines are ideally suited to this site, we will be in a position to quintuple energy production here. This brings many advantages to our region, which will be reflected in an increase in jobs, trade taxes and the involvement of the public.”

Karsten Brüggemann, VP, Region Central, Nordex Group, stated, “With an installed capacity of 6.8 MW, the N163/6.X currently numbers among our most powerful turbines. This enables us to offer our long-standing partner solutions that are tailor-made for the specific requirements of each project and at the same time significantly advance Germany’s energy transition.”
