Nordex Group receives orders from OX2 in Finland

The orders also include a premium contract for the maintenance and service of the wind turbines over a period of 35 years.

These new orders represent the first investment decision in the Nordic region based on the N175/6.X, the latest variant from the Delta4000 series. The wind turbines, with a total capacity of approximately 472 MW are intended for two projects: Honkakangas in Central Ostrobothnia, comprising 16 units and Rajamäenkylä in South Ostrobothnia, comprising 54 units.

The wind turbines will be supplied in 162 m tubular steel towers and cold climate adaptations, a standard for the Nordic countries. In addition, the wind turbines for the Honkakangas project will be equipped with the Nordex Advanced Anti-Icing System for rotor blades. This ensures high availability of the wind turbines during moderate-heavy icing conditions. Delivery and installation of the wind turbines will be carried out in 2026 and 2027 – the wind farms are scheduled to be commissioned in 2027 and 2028.

José Luis Blanco, CEO of the Nordex Group, responded: “We are pleased to have been awarded the contracts to supply our most powerful turbine type for these large projects – now for the first time also in the Nordics. This is a testament to our experience in developing turbines for cold climates and now with our competitive and reliable anti-icing system. It is relevant for us to be part of shaping Finland’s clean and sustainable future by providing this technology to OX2.”
