Nordex Group has received a 35MW order from STAWAG Energie for the Frettertal wind farm in Finnentrop in Germany’s Sauerland region.
The company said the order covers five N163/6.X turbines with a hub height of 164 metres and includes a 20-year Premium Service contract.
Nordex added that installation is scheduled to begin in summer 2027 with commissioning planned for early 2028.
The project is located in a site characterised by deep-cut valleys and ridges that favour taller turbines.
“This favors the use of the N163/6.X turbines with a 164-meter hub height, as the tall towers provide stable wind conditions at rotor height – a decisive factor for high full-load hours,” said Felipe Villalon Waldburg-Zeil, director sales region central at Nordex Group.
“We are very pleased about the order from STAWAG. The Frettertal wind farm will specifically strengthen a region in the Sauerland where the expansion of wind energy has so far been relatively modest, but thanks to modern, efficient turbine technology holds great potential.”
