Nordex Group to deliver 20 MW wind farm for Continental tire plant in Korbach, Germany
• Nordex receives order to install three latest-generation turbines
• Continental further expands its direct supply of renewable electricity
© Nordex SEHamburg (renewablepress) - End of June, the Nordex Group received a new order from Germany: For the Twistenberg wind farm in northern Hesse, Nordex will supply and install three N175/6.X wind turbines. The 20-MW wind farm will generate approximately 55 GWh of renewable electricity annually and, together with existing photovoltaic systems, will cover about two-thirds of the electricity needs of the Continental tire plant in Korbach. The contract also includes a 20-year full-service contract, ensuring the long-term efficient operation of the turbines.
A special feature of the project is the planned direct supply of the electricity generated to a major industrial off-taker: the wind farm will be operated and owned by tire manufacturer Continental. In future, the wind power is expected to cover part of the electricity demand of Continental’s plant in Korbach, around eight kilometers away – an important employer in the region.
With this project, Continental is further expanding its direct supply of renewable electricity. At the same time, regional power generation contributes to greater planning certainty in the energy supply of the site.
The Twistenberg project was developed by Verbands-Energie-Werk Gesellschaft für Erneuerbare Energien (VEW), a subsidiary of Energie Waldeck-Frankenberg GmbH (EWF). EWF is a regional energy supplier with municipal roots in Hesse. Through the close cooperation between industry, municipal energy utilities and regional project development, this project is becoming a flagship example of the energy transition for industrial SMEs and large companies alike.
The Twistenberg wind farm is being built in the Waldeck-Frankenberg district, in the typical low mountain range landscape of northern Hesse. With an average wind speed of 6.9 m/s, the site is ideally suited to the N175/6.X turbine, which was specifically developed for low to medium wind conditions.
“Especially in low mountain regions, our N175/6.X demonstrates its strength with high hub heights of 179 metres: high yields combined with efficient turbine operation. In combination with direct industrial power use, this creates an overall concept that is compelling both economically and in terms of climate policy,” says Karsten Brüggemann, Vice President Region Central of the Nordex Group.
Civil engineering work is scheduled to begin in 2026, with commissioning planned for approximately a year and a half later.
