HAMBURG, GERMANY and CHICAGO, IL – The Nordex Group has announced three new orders in the United States with a combined capacity exceeding 480 megawatts (MW). The contracts involve the supply of 81 N163/5.X turbines, which will be delivered according to customer-specific requirements. The names of the customers and projects have not been disclosed, a common practice in the industry to protect competitive information.
These orders underscore the growing demand for onshore wind energy in the U.S. market and highlight Nordex’s ability to secure large-scale projects. The company’s production plant in Iowa will manufacture the turbines, reinforcing its commitment to local manufacturing and its role in the U.S. supply chain.
“These new orders reflect once again the trust our customers place in Nordex and in our ability to deliver and service projects reliably and efficiently. We are grateful for that confidence,” said Manav Sharma, CEO of Nordex North America. “Driven by strong customer partnerships, the dedicated execution and service capabilities of our teams, and our robust manufacturing capabilities, we are seeing continued momentum in this region. Our focus remains on delivering value and supporting our customers’ long-term energy goals.”
The significance of these orders extends beyond the immediate revenue. They signal a positive trend for the U.S. wind industry, which has faced policy uncertainties in recent years. With the Inflation Reduction Act providing long-term tax incentives for renewable energy, developers are increasingly committing to new projects. Nordex’s success in securing these orders indicates that the market is responding to these incentives, and that the company is well-positioned to capitalize on the growth.
Additionally, the orders contribute to the Nordex Group’s global footprint. Since 1985, the group has commissioned more than 64 GW of wind power capacity across over 40 markets. In 2025, it generated consolidated sales of around EUR 7.6 billion. With more than 11,100 employees and manufacturing facilities in Germany, Spain, Brazil, India, and the USA, Nordex is a major player in the wind energy sector. Its product portfolio focuses on onshore turbines in the 4 to 7 MW+ classes, designed for markets with limited space and constrained grid capacity.
The new U.S. orders will likely have a positive impact on the local economy in Iowa, where the manufacturing plant is located. The production of 81 turbines will require a skilled workforce, supporting jobs and contributing to the state’s economic development. Moreover, the projects will generate clean energy, helping to reduce carbon emissions and meet renewable energy targets.
As the U.S. continues to expand its renewable energy capacity, orders like these are crucial for meeting climate goals. The Nordex Group’s ability to secure such contracts demonstrates its competitive edge and reliability in a crowded market. The company’s focus on customer satisfaction and long-term partnerships, as highlighted by Sharma, is key to its success.
The announcement also comes at a time when the global wind industry is facing challenges such as supply chain disruptions and rising costs. Nordex’s ability to secure these orders suggests that it has managed these challenges effectively, and that its manufacturing capabilities are robust enough to meet demand.
In summary, these orders not only strengthen Nordex’s position in the U.S. market but also contribute to the broader adoption of wind energy. They are a testament to the company’s strategic focus and its ability to deliver value to its customers. As the world transitions to cleaner energy sources, such developments are vital for a sustainable future.
