Nordex Group Receives Orders for 57 MW from France

The Nordex Group has received two orders from France for a total of 57 MW. The orders also include the Premium Service for the maintenance of the turbines over 20 years after commissioning in autumn 2025.

In Centre-Val-de-Loire four N149/5.X turbines are being installed on 105-metre-high tubular steel towers in a 22.8 MW wind farm.

For a 34.4 MW wind farm in Hauts de France, the Nordex Group is supplying and installing six N163/5.X turbines on tubular steel towers with a hub height of 118 metres. This is the second order from France for Nordex turbines with a rotor diameter of 163 metres – the largest rotors of wind turbines in France to date. The size of the rotor is a determining factor in the performance of a turbine, as the rotor converts the kinetic energy of the wind into rotational energy and more wind is captured in the case of large rotors.
