(PRESS RELEASE) HAMBURG, 17-Mar-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — A wind energy project developer has recently placed an order with the Nordex Group for the supply and installation of 16 N163/5.X turbines, amounting to a 94 MW project. In addition to the turbine supply, the order includes a comprehensive 25-year service agreement to ensure optimal performance throughout the turbines’ operational lifetime.

Nordex will deliver these turbines for the Nova Scotia wind project starting from mid-2026. Each turbine, boasting a nominal capacity of 5.9 MW, will be mounted on 125-meter-high tubular steel towers specifically designed for cold climates. They will also feature the Nordex Advanced Anti-Icing System for rotor blades, a technology that significantly minimizes ice formation and consequently reduces downtime during the harsh winter months.

Manav Sharma, CEO Division North America at the Nordex Group, stated, “This project further strengthens our market presence in Canada. Fifteen years ago, we pioneered the integration of an anti-icing system for rotor blades in our turbines. Today, our proven technology remains one of the critical factors in our success in cold climate markets, ensuring that our turbines remain highly available by virtually eliminating ice-related disruptions.”

The identities of the customer and the wind farm remain confidential.
