EQS-News: Nordex SE / Key word(s): Incoming Orders UKA places order with Nordex Group for 68 MW of N175/6.X turbines in Germany 18.09.2024 / 07:30 CET/CEST The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. •    10 Turbines on hybrid towers developed in-house by Nordex with a hub height of 179 metres •    Nordex breaks the 70 GW order intake mark since its foundation Hamburg, 18 September 2024. The wind and solar park developer UKA (Umweltgerechte Kraftanlagen GmbH & Co. KG) has ordered 10 turbines from the Nordex Group from the latest Delta4000 series N175/6.X. The 6.8 MW turbines with hub heights of 179 metres are intended for the 68 MW Mahlsdorf wind farm in Brandenburg. The order also includes the Premium Service for the maintenance of the turbines over a 20-year period.

Thanks to the order, the Nordex Group has now broken through the 10 GW mark in Germany alone and at the same time the 70 GW mark in order intake worldwide since it was founded in 1985.

After installation and commissioning in 2025, the UKA wind farm Mahlsdorf will be the first wind farm with N175/6.X turbines with hub heights of 179 metres in Germany. The hybrid towers used in this project were developed in-house by the Nordex Group. Due to the large hub height, attractive wind speeds can be achieved even at typical light-wind locations.

"The rotor is the motor, especially with the N175/6.X. With a diameter of 175 metres, the rotor captures a lot of energy from the wind and, with a hub height of 179 metres, it also moves in wind currents at much higher speeds," says Karsten Brüggemann, Vice President Region Central of the Nordex Group. And adds: "That's why we are very pleased that UKA has opted for our latest technology and that we can prove the high efficiency of the turbines in Mahlsdorf, especially with large hub heights. This would not be possible without the long-standing trusting partnership between the two companies, which have set themselves the goal of implementing the latest climate-friendly and economical solutions for the energy transition in Germany."
