Nordex with above-average growth in Germany
- Return to double-digit market share / success underpinned by the N117/2400 onshore turbine -
Hamburg - The German wind power market is continuing to grow this year, expanding by almost 14%. Against this backdrop, turbine manufacturer Nordex has managed to more than double its sales volume in Germany, installing wind farms with a combined capacity of a good 109 megawatts in the first half of 2013. Measured in terms of new installed capacity onshore, Nordex has thus achieved a double-digit share of the market of around 11% for the first time again.
“Our above-average performance in Germany is chiefly due to our products, which provide the ideal answer to the growing onshore demand,” explains Management Board member Lars Bondo Krogsgaard. Half of the turbines assembled in the first half of the year were N117/2400s, which Nordex has been series-producing since 2012. With its greater rotor diameter, this model permits substantially more economical use of weaker wind locations.
Looking forward, wind-produced electricity must become even cheaper and it is with this in mind that Nordex has developed a new generation of turbines ensuring more efficient electricity production even at locations characterised by stronger winds. Says Krogsgaard: “It is foreseeable that many of our customers will be developing more areas in coastal regions or at elevated locations. That is why it was important for us to install the first new Delta Generation turbines in Schleswig-Holstein in the first half of 2013, meaning that we can now devote all our attention to sales and marketing.”
About Nordex
As one of the technological leaders in multi-megawatt wind power systems, Nordex is benefiting from the trend in favour of large-scale turbines. The Generation Gamma range comprises the N90/2500, N100/2500 and the N117/2400, which is one of the most efficient onshore turbines. To date, over 2,200 of these turbines have been produced. This experience with multi-megawatt turbines gives Nordex a decisive lead over most of its competitors. With Generation Delta, Nordex is now offering the fourth generation of its proven multi-megawatt platform (N100/3300, N117/3000). Nordex has installed a total of around 5,300 turbines with an aggregate capacity of more than 8,500 MW all around the world. With exports accounting for more than 85 percent of its business, Nordex SE plays a key role in international high-growth regions. The Company has offices and subsidiaries in 22 countries around the world with a total global headcount of over 2,500 employees.
