Nordex Enters Albanian Market with 84 MW Wind Turbine Order
Nordex Group has entered the Albanian market with an 84 MW wind turbine order from Austrian energy company VERBUND, a development that signals a continued expansion of its European footprint and reinforces its position in a growing renewable energy sector.
The order encompasses the supply and installation of twelve N163/6.X wind turbines for the Spille wind farm, located approximately 50 kilometers south of Durrës, Albania. Crucially, the contract also includes a 15-year Premium Service agreement, providing a recurring revenue stream and solidifying a long-term relationship with VERBUND. This marks Albania’s first wind energy project and follows VERBUND securing the contract through an international tender, highlighting a supportive environment for renewable energy development in the country.
This move into Albania builds on an existing framework agreement signed in January 2026, wherein Nordex committed to potentially supplying up to 700 MW of turbines for projects across six European markets. The Albanian project demonstrates the realization of this strategic intent, expanding beyond previously established markets. While Nordex's 2025 revenues reached approximately EUR 7.6 billion, adding a new geographical market is a vital component of accelerating growth. The Spille wind farm, slated for commissioning in spring 2028, is expected to contribute to Albania’s broader goal of diversifying its energy mix beyond its traditional reliance on hydropower.
The 84 MW order, while not individually a transformative figure for a company generating EUR 7.6 billion in revenue, is strategically important as it unlocks a new market and leverages an existing partnership with VERBUND – a key player in European renewable energy. This entry into Albania, combined with the larger framework agreement, positions Nordex to capitalize on the increasing demand for wind energy solutions across Europe and beyond. The long-term service agreement associated with the project will contribute to stable revenue generation for the next 15 years.
