Government Increases Expansion Targets: Nordex Group Receives Order for 141 MW Wind Power Capacity in Spain

Hamburg, Germany - The Nordex Group has been awarded a contract by BayWa r.e. for the delivery and installation of 24 N163/5.X turbines of the Delta4000 series in Spain.

The "Cluster Rueda Sur" wind farm is being built near Zaragoza in the autonomous region of Aragón in the north of the country. The park is being developed by BayWa r.e. together with the Spanish company CEAR. The Nordex Group will supply and install the turbines with an installed capacity of 5.9 MW on steel tube towers with a hub height of 125 meters starting in summer 2024. Commissioning is scheduled for spring 2025.

Patxi Landa, COO Sales and Marketing of Nordex Group: „We would like to thank BayWa r.e. for their trust in our technology and that, after recently winning projects in Scotland and France, we can now continue to advance the energy transition in Spain with BayWa r.e. as well."

The Spanish government had only recently updated its Energy and Climate Plan 2030. In the area of wind energy, the latest plans call for installed wind power capacity to reach 62 GW by the end of the decade (previous plan: 50 GW), including 3 GW of offshore wind power capacity.
