Urja kranti Reported that a significant boost to Canada’s renewable energy sector, the Nordex Group has secured new wind turbine orders totaling 508 MW in the country. Announced on January 5, 2026, the contracts include the first-ever deployment of Nordex’s advanced N175/6.X wind turbines in Canada, marking a major milestone in the company’s North American expansion.
This development underscores the rising demand for high-performance, cold-climate-optimized wind technology as Canada accelerates its transition toward a low-carbon energy system.
508 MW Wind Orders:- 73 Turbines for Canadian Projects
The newly awarded contracts cover the supply and installation of 73 onshore wind turbines, combining Nordex’s proven N163 models with the next-generation N175/6.X platform.
Key Order Details
• Total capacity: 508 MW
• Number of turbines: 73
• Turbine models: N163 and N175/6.X
• Delivery schedule: 2027 and 2028
• Market: Canada
• Service scope: Long-term servicing agreements included
While the customers and project locations have not been disclosed, the repeat nature of the orders highlights strong confidence in Nordex’s technology, project execution, and after-sales service capabilities.
N175/6.X Turbine:- A Game-Changer for Low- and Medium-Wind Sites
The introduction of the N175/6.X turbine represents a major technological leap for Canada’s wind industry. Featuring a 175-meter rotor diameter—one of the largest in its class—and a rated output of up to 7 MW, the turbine is engineered to maximize energy yield in challenging wind conditions.
Compared to earlier models such as the N163/5.X and N163/6.X, the N175/6.X delivers:
• 7–14% higher annual energy production
• Improved performance in low- to medium-wind regions
• Enhanced efficiency during periods of lighter winds, when power prices are often higher
The turbine is equipped with single-piece 85.7-meter rotor blades and flexible power modes, enabling optimized output across a wide range of site conditions common in Canada.
Built for Harsh Canadian Winters: Advanced Anti-Icing Technology
Canada’s long and severe winters pose unique challenges for wind power generation. To ensure year-round reliability, all turbines under these contracts will be cold-climate optimized and fitted with the Nordex Advanced Anti-Icing System for rotor blades.
Key Benefits of Nordex’s Anti-Icing System
• Prevents ice accumulation on blades
• Maintains high turbine availability
• Minimizes ice-related downtime
• Enables safe operation in temperatures as low as -30°C
With over 15 years of experience in anti-icing solutions, Nordex has established itself as a trusted partner in cold-climate wind markets such as Canada.
