The renewable energy sector in Spain continues to grow with the recent announcement by Nordex Group of a new order for 24 N163/5.X turbines from Aquila Clean Energy.
This order is in addition to that of June 2024, when 21 turbines were ordered for the same project.
With this extension, the Baza wind farm, located in the province of Granada, will increase its total capacity to 265 MW.
Delta4000 turbine installation and maintenance
Starting in 2025, Nordex Group will install Delta4000 series turbines on 108-meter tubular steel towers.
This configuration is designed to maximize energy production and optimize the wind farm’s operational efficiency.
The contract also includes a 20-year Premium Service, guaranteeing ongoing maintenance and management of the turbines, thus ensuring their long-term performance.
An ambitious project and renewed confidence
Aquila Clean Energy’s decision to order a further 24 turbines testifies to the continuing trust between the two companies.
Patxi Landa, CSO of Nordex Group, expresses his satisfaction: “We are delighted that Aquila Clean Energy has exercised the extension option for the Baza wind farm. This is a strong incentive for our team to successfully complete this ambitious project.”
Impact on the Spanish renewable energy market
This significant project underlines the growing importance of renewable energies in Spain.
The total capacity of the Baza wind farm will make a substantial contribution to the country’s energy transition objectives.
This development also strengthens Nordex Group’s position in the Spanish market and illustrates Aquila Clean Energy’s commitment to sustainable energy solutions.
Future prospects and technological innovations
The Spanish wind power market continues to attract substantial investment, and projects such as Baza show a trend towards cutting-edge technologies and innovative energy solutions.
Nordex’s Delta4000 series is an example of advanced technology aimed at improving energy efficiency and reducing long-term operating costs.
The success of this project could serve as a model for future wind power developments in the region.
The stakes and challenges of the energy transition
The energy transition in Spain presents major challenges, particularly in terms of regulation, financing and integrating renewable energies into the existing grid.
Projects like Baza play a crucial role in demonstrating the feasibility and benefits of investing in renewable energies.
The collaboration between Nordex Group and Aquila Clean Energy is an example of a strategic partnership aimed at overcoming these challenges and promoting a sustainable energy future.
The Baza wind project, with its 45 N163/5.X turbines and a total capacity of 265 MW, represents a significant step forward for the renewable energy sector in Spain.
Aquila Clean Energy’s additional order from Nordex Group underlines the importance of strategic partnerships in the realization of ambitious projects and the achievement of energy transition objectives.
This project also illustrates the benefits of advanced wind power technologies in meeting future energy needs in a sustainable and efficient manner.
