Hamburg-based Nordex Group announced it has signed a contract to supply wind turbines with a total capacity of 200 megawatts in the Canadian province of New Brunswick. This order marks the company’s entry into this provincial market, further strengthening its presence in the North American onshore wind sector.
A strategic contract with long-term commitment
The project involves the delivery of 34 N163/5.X turbines, specifically designed for cold climates. These units will be installed on 125-metre tubular steel towers. The agreement also includes a 30-year maintenance contract covering the entire life cycle of the wind farm. Turbine delivery is scheduled to begin in mid-2027.
Each turbine will be equipped with the Advanced Anti-Icing System to optimise performance under extreme weather conditions. The names of the customer and the wind farm have not been disclosed by the manufacturer.
Ongoing expansion of Nordex in Canada
This contract comes amid Nordex’s continued growth in the Canadian market. The company views it as a developing market driven by the growing demand for energy infrastructure aligned with the country’s climate targets. Canada, which has set ambitious renewable energy goals, is issuing multiple tenders for new wind energy projects.
Manav Sharma, Chief Executive Officer for North America at Nordex Group, stated that the order reinforces the company’s position in a strategic region. He noted that the group’s turbines, tailored for winter conditions, provide a technical advantage in this segment.
Long-term industrial positioning
This project is part of a broader Nordex strategy to secure long-term contracts with integrated services. By combining equipment supply with extended maintenance, the group aims to strengthen its competitiveness in markets requiring technically specific solutions due to climate conditions.
The integration of turbines suited for harsh environments is a lever for entering new Canadian markets, where several provinces are working to diversify their energy mix. The contract signed in New Brunswick serves as a test case for Nordex’s future expansion into other regions of the country.
