VERBUND Green Power, the international renewable energy subsidiary of Austria’s leading energy company VERBUND, has signed a multi-year framework agreement with global wind turbine manufacturer Nordex Group to potentially procure up to 700 MW of onshore wind capacity across Europe.
The agreement, formalized at VERBUND Green Power’s Madrid office on January 16, was signed by Dietmar Reiner, Managing Director of VERBUND Green Power, and José Luis Blanco, CEO of the Nordex Group. Under the framework, Nordex will supply up to 105 onshore wind turbines for VERBUND Green Power’s future projects in six key markets: Austria, Germany, Spain, Italy, Romania, and Albania. The partnership extends through 2030.
Based on current project pipelines, the 700 MW capacity could cover approximately 50% of VERBUND Green Power’s wind projects, subject to approvals and commercial agreements.
Historically strong in hydropower, the VERBUND Group is accelerating its growth in wind and solar energy under its Mission V corporate strategy, aiming for photovoltaics and wind to contribute 25% of total generation by 2030. VERBUND Green Power already operates over 1.2 GW of renewable capacity across Europe and is actively developing multiple projects to expand its footprint further.
Michael Strugl, CEO of VERBUND, said, “This collaboration with Nordex supports our strategic objective of scaling up renewable generation across Europe. It strengthens our supply options as projects mature, helping secure the supply chain in a competitive environment while delivering on Mission V targets and accelerating the energy transition in our markets. Partnering with Nordex, a leader in wind technology, will be invaluable as we move from planning to deployment.”
José Luis Blanco, CEO of Nordex, added, “We are proud of our partnership with VERBUND Green Power. This multi-year framework allows us to provide up to 700 MW of our latest 7 MW-class onshore turbines across six European markets, transforming an ambitious pipeline into reliable, cost-efficient wind energy. Last year, we received our first order from VERBUND for nine N175/6.X turbines in Romania, marking the start of our expanded presence in the country.”
