Nordex has recorded an annual order intake for 2021 of 7950MW, compared with 6020MW for 2020.
Orders for 2021 included a total of 1636 wind turbines, compared with 1331 units in 2020.
High demand in the fourth quarter of 2021, including a 180MW project in the US, helped boost the year’s order books.
The fourth quarter accounted for 678 wind turbines, compared with 491 in 2020, with a total capacity of 3.3GW against 2.3GW in the fourth quarter of 2020.
The share of the company’s Delta4000 wind turbines amounted to 83% for the full year, compared with 81% in 2020.
In the fourth quarter of 2021 Europe accounted for 52% of orders in MW, the US 21% and Latin America 27%.
The Delta4000 series, which comprises seven different product types, accounted for 88% of orders in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared with 81% in the final quarter of 2020.
Nordex received orders from 16 European countries in 2021, with Europe accounting for 58% of total order intake.
The largest individual European markets were Germany, Finland, France, Poland and Turkey.
Latin America accounted for 21% of the order volume and in Australia (rest of the world) Nordex achieved a share of 12% of total order intake with its largest single order in the company’s history.
The US, and thus the North American region, accounted for 9% of orders.
“Order intake momentum in the fourth quarter of 2021 was, as we expected, very strong.
“Numerous orders from Europe and other core markets as well as the major order from Australia have helped us to build a strong order book in 2021. Provided the macro environment evolves as encouraging as expected, we continue to see good prospects for our products, which stand for carbon-free electricity production,” said Nordex CEO José Luis Blanco.
