The Nordex Group has recently recorded significant growth in the German market, securing orders for a total capacity of around 172 MW for various customers. The largest project in this series is in Lower Saxony, where Nordex will supply eleven N163/6.X turbines to a wind farm operator based in Badbergen/Dinklage, in the districts of Osnabrück and Vechta. The contract also includes a twenty-year premium service contract. The 74.8 MW wind farm, named “Bünne-Wehdel”, is scheduled for commissioning in autumn 2025. Nordex operates in Germany, where it has already won contracts in 2023.

The Bünne-Wehdel Repowering Project

“Bünne-Wehdel” is a repowering project in which 17 Südwind S70 1.5 MW turbines will be replaced by new Nordex N163/6.X turbines, each with a capacity of 6.8 MW and a hub height of 164 meters. Karsten Brüggemann, Nordex Group Vice President Central Region, commented that the new 6.8 MW turbines offer a much higher annual output than the old turbines. This modernization will maximize the efficiency of the existing site while meeting new market requirements.

Project Planning and Execution

The project was jointly planned by EFI Wind of Mülheim an der Ruhr, Alpha Wind of Osnabrück and Bad Essen-based Energy-Farming. The latter is also responsible for the commercial and technical operation of the wind farm. The “Bünne-Wehdel” project illustrates a successful collaboration between several players in the sector, reinforcing Germany’s commitment to the development of renewable energies.

Outlook and Impact on the Sector

The Nordex Group’s installed capacity is now around 51 GW in over 40 markets, with consolidated sales of around 6.5 billion euros in 2023. The Group’s manufacturing network includes plants in Germany, Spain, Brazil, India, the United States (on standby) and Mexico. The product portfolio focuses on onshore turbines in the 4 to 6 MW+ classes, designed to meet the requirements of markets with limited space and regions with restricted grid capacity. Nordex’s success in Germany reflects the positive dynamics of the European wind energy market and the company’s ability to adapt to specific customer needs. This project also reinforces Nordex’s position as a key supplier of advanced wind technologies, while highlighting its expertise in repowering existing sites to optimize energy production.
