Furthermore, Nordex is contracted to provide two decades of service for these turbines under a premium service agreement once the wind farms commence operations in 2026. 

UKA Group managing director Stefan Kath said: “This order increases the project volume that UKA currently has in the construction phase with Nordex in Germany to a total of 1,070MW. This is a sign of confidence in the quality of Nordex’s products and management.”  

Nordex said one of the most substantial individual orders within this deal involves the Herzberg-Granzin wind farm in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.  

The project will feature nine N175/6.X turbines alongside three N149/5.X turbines, contributing to a total capacity of 78MW at this site alone. 

The N175/6.X turbines, which represent a significant portion of this order, will be mounted on concrete hybrid towers, which are designed in-house by Nordex and stand at a hub height of 179m. 

UKA’s order is an extension of a framework agreement between UKA and Nordex that was renewed in November 2023.  

Nordex Group vice-president region central Karsten Brüggemann said: “The success of the energy transition in Germany is not only the result of good technology but also of long-term partnership between all those involved.  

“The new wind farms will further support the path of self-sufficient energy supply in the state. After all, wind is a domestic energy source in Germany and not a scarce resource to be imported.”  

In January last year, Nordex secured orders from UKA totalling 197.1MW for seven wind projects in regions including Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Saxony-Anhalt, Schleswig-Holstein and North Rhine-Westphalia.
