Nordex has booked turbine orders amounting to 888MW in the second quarter of 2020, compared with 2003MW in the same quarter in 2019.
In this period, from April to June, customers placed the orders for turbines spanning 217 wind projects.
The intake of firm orders in the projects segment, excluding the service business, reached a volume of 2532MW in the first half of this year, compared with 3038MW in the first half of 2019.
Europe accounted for 83% of Nordex’s order intake in the second quarter of 2020, with major projects in Spain and Ireland contributing to this share.
Other key markets included Brazil, with Latin America accounting for 17% of orders in the second quarter of this year.
Nordex said its Delta4000 series of turbines comprised 65% of the orders in the second quarter.
In the first half of 2020 the series’ share was 79% overall.
Nordex chief executive Jose Luis Blanco said: “The global economy continues to be severely impacted by the coronavirus pandemic – as are we, our customers and suppliers, of course.
“It is therefore all the more gratifying that our customers are consistently moving ahead with their projects and preparing for the growing global demand for renewable energy.
“As a result, we expect to see strong demand for our turbines and services in the second half of the year as well.”
Nordex has installed more than 28GW of wind power capacity in over 40 markets and generated sales of around €3.3bn in 2019.
