EQS-News: UKA orders 80 turbines from the Nordex Group for projects over 540 MW in Germany

Hamburg, 9 January 2025. In December 2024, wind and solar park developer UKA (Umweltgerechte Kraftanlagen GmbH & Co. KG) ordered 80 turbines from the Delta4000 series from the Nordex Group for a total of 540 MW.

The Nordex Group received orders for various turbines for 15 UKA wind energy projects in six German states – 64 turbines for its latest turbine type N175/6.X alone. The orders also include thirteen N163/6.X turbines and three N149/5.X turbines. Nordex will also be responsible for the service of all turbines for 20 years after the wind farms go into operation in 2026 based on a Premium Service contract.

One of the largest orders was placed with nine N175/6.X turbines and three N149/5.X turbines for the 78 MW Herzberg-Granzin wind farm in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

The Nordex Group will install all N175/6.X turbines on concrete hybrid towers developed in-house with a hub height of 179 metres.

The orders are part of a framework agreement between UKA and the Nordex Group that was extended in November 2023.

"This order increases the project volume that UKA currently has in the construction phase with Nordex in Germany to a total of 1,070 MW. This is a sign of confidence in the quality of Nordex's products and management," says Stefan Kath, Managing Director of the UKA Group.

"We are very pleased to once again supply UKA with modern, highly efficient turbines for their projects. 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," says Karsten Brüggemann, Vice President Region Central of the Nordex Group.
