The Nordex Group is expanding its 5 MW product portfolio by launching a turbine variant of its Delta4000 platform tailored to the requirements of the U.S. market.
The N169/5.X has a 169-meter rotor diameter and a 5.5 MW power rating. The company adds that the turbine is suitable for wind regions without intense turbulence and with low to medium wind speeds.
“The N169/5.X is one of the largest and most efficient turbines for the U.S. market, developed to support our growth targets in this region,” says José Luis Blanco, CEO of the Nordex Group.
“Once again, we have followed our proven approach of an evolutionary product strategy by using proven components of our 5 MW class to develop a turbine variant that significantly increases yield, especially in projects with limited grid capacity, through an optimized capacity factor.”
The company expects to manufacture the N169/5.X as well as the N163 turbine for the U.S. market in its West Branch, Iowa, facility. Production of the N169/5.X is scheduled to start in 2026.
