During the WindEurope conference in Bilbao, RWE and Nordex signed a multi-year agreement for the provision of wind turbines, totaling 800 megawatts (MW). Over the next 2.5 years, RWE will receive approximately 120 wind turbines from Nordex for deployment across its European markets. This collaboration builds upon years of successful partnership, as RWE presently operates 53 wind farms equipped with Nordex turbines across seven countries.
RWE will primarily utilize the N163 turbine model, offering a flexible rated output of up to 6.8 MW. The agreement also encompasses the N175 (up to 6.8 MW) and N149 (up to 5.9 MW) models, available for deployment in RWE’s key European markets as needed. Furthermore, both entities have entered into a multi-year service contract for the maintenance and servicing the onshore wind farms. No financial details of the transaction have been disclosed.
Katja Wünschel, CEO RWE Renewables Europe & Australia, said, “We have announced that we will accelerate our expansion even further: By 2030, we want to increase our installed capacity in the onshore wind sector from the current 8.6 gigawatts to 14 gigawatts. To strengthen our supply chain, we are planning for the long term and relying on strong partners. This supply agreement with Nordex optimally complements existing contracts and secures additional capacity for us to achieve our ambitious growth targets.”
José Luis Blanco, CEO Nordex Group, added, “We look forward to further expanding our cooperation with RWE. Not only have we shared many successful projects with RWE in the past, but we also share the vision of intensively driving forward the energy transition and thus making a joint contribution to Europe’s energy security.”
