55 MW order from Italy to the Nordex Group
The Nordex Group has received orders for supplying two wind farms with Delta4000 turbines for a total of 54.9 MW in Italy. For one 26.1 MW project, the Nordex is supplying five N149/5.X turbines, and a further six N133/4.8 turbines are going to be installed in a second 28.8 MW wind farm. The orders also include a Premium Service contract for the turbines for an initial two-year basis with several extension options for a total of up to 10 years.
The name of the projects and of the customer are undisclosed as per customer’s request.
The installation of the turbines will take place during summer 2022, and the completion of the wind farms is scheduled for autumn the same year. Both wind farms will be built in the Campania region in southwestern Italy on mountain ranges with 900 meters above sea level.
Since the beginning of 2021, the Nordex Group has received orders totaling 143 MW from Italy. Among them is a first project with five N163/5.X turbines, the largest turbines to be installed in Italy. All projects will be built in the course of 2022.
The Group has installed more than 33 GW of wind energy capacity in over 40 markets and in 2020 generated revenues of EUR 4.6 billion. The company currently employs a workforce of approx. 8,500. The joint manufacturing capacity includes factories in Germany, Spain, Brazil, the United States, India and Mexico. The product portfolio is focused on onshore turbines in the 4 to 5.X MW class, which are tailor-made for the market requirements of countries with limited space and regions with limited grid capacity.

The High-power Wind Turbine Rolled Off the Production Line at CRRC Baiyin New Energy Equipment Base
Recently, the high-power wind turbine developed by CRRC for the complex climate and unique geological conditions of Northwest China rolled off the production line and entered mass production at CRRC Baiyin New Energy Equipment Base. This marks an important milestone of CRRC’s presence in the new energy industry in Baiyin.
The 7.5 MW high-power wind turbine offers flexible power configurations ranging from 6.X to 8.X MW and features a rotor diameter of over 220 meters. By incorporating the high-speed train reliability design principles, it not only improves the wind energy capture efficiency, but also ensures safe and stable operation in the complex and variable climate conditions. The wind turbine is the result of CRRC Shandong Wind Power Co., Ltd.’s indepth research into the wind resources and geographical features of Northwest China, particularly in provinces like Gansu.
The first phase of CRRC Baiyin New Energy Equipment Base has been built into a modern industrial cluster centered on wind turbine sets, hydrogen production equipment, and electrical systems, providing a mass production capacity of 300 wind turbine sets and hubs per year.
A strategic step that strengthens LEITWIND’s presence in the Eastern Thrace region.
LEITWIND’s success in Turkey can be attributed to several factors: the adoption of cutting-edge technology, the offer of
a comprehensive all-inclusive package that includes not only the standard supply of wind turbines but also continuous support throughout all project phases, and a strong local presence. Following the establishment of LEITNER TURKEY in May 2012, specializing in the ropeway sector, the LEITWIND TURKEY branch was inaugurated in Bursa, actively managing the 10 LEITWIND wind farms currently operating in the country.
Not only in Turkey but also in Italy, the LTW90 product continues to receive significant recognition. In the fall of 2024, LEITWIND successfully completed the first LTW90 wind farm in the province of Trapani. This project, consisting of three LTW90 with a rated power of 1,000 kW, presented a significant logistical challenge due to the area’s unique morphological characteristics. However, achieving this result highlights the company’s experience and expertise in handling installations in complex environments.
The wind energy sector is undergoing a transformation, with major manufacturers shifting towards turbines with larger rotors and higher power outputs, thereby reducing the availability of Megawatt- class turbines. In this challenging context, LEITWIND stands out for its specialization in small to medium-sized projects and repowering operations, reinforcing its role as a key partner for communities, SMEs, and local investors.
Despite regulatory and permitting uncertainties, the small to medium-sized wind energy sector represents a strategic opportunity to enhance the value of already installed energy potential. LEITWIND is ready to further strengthen its leadership position, making a significant contribution to the global energy transition.
Since its establishment in 1984, ENERCON has pioneered in wind energy technology by developing onshore wind turbines and playing a key role in the industry. With over 33,000 installed wind turbines worldwide and a cumulative installed capacity exceeding 64 GW, the company stands as one of the architects of a sustainable future. It has established itself as one of the leading brands in the global wind energy sector by means of its innovative wind turbine technology, high-quality standards, and decades of experience. In Türkiye, it is recognized as one of the pioneers of the country’s energy transition. As Türkiye’s first wind turbine brand, ENERCON Türkiye has achieved many industry milestones throughout its 27-year history. Today, with more than 1,250wind turbines installed, the company alone accounts for nearly 24% of Türkiye’s total 13 GW installed wind capacity.
The company entered the Turkish market in 1997 and has since exceeded a cumulative installed capacity of 3 GW, starting from just 1.5 MW, marking a significant milestone in its journey. By the end of 2025, it aims to achieve a total installed capacity of 4 GW. As the turbine supplier for the 1,000 MW mega project encompassing the entire YEKA RES-2 tenders, the company continues to play a key role in Türkiye’s energy transition through its contracts in YEKA-2 and YEKA-3.
The company is solidifying its role in Türkiye’s wind energy sector with ongoing and contracted projects. Rather than seeing Türkiye merely as a sales market, it actively engages in production and engineering activities. Through its investments in education and R&D, ENERCON contributes to developing innovative wind energy technologies in the country. As part of its collaboration with Enerjisa Üretim, ENERCON is set to test the E-175 EP5 model—one of the world’s largest wind turbines with a rotor diameter of 175 meters—for the first time in Türkiye at the Bandırma Energy Hub. The E-175 EP5 E2 7 MW stands out as one of ENERCON’s latest and most advanced turbine designs in engineering. ENERCON’s signature direct drive technology distinguishes the company from other brands and is also a key feature in this model. Additionally, incorporating a permanent magnet system maximizes energy efficiency, demonstrating its commitment to high performance. With its robust performance and optimized aerodynamic design, the E-175 EP5 E2 ensures maximum energy generation even at low and medium wind speeds, reflecting ENERCON’s sustainability and technology-driven vision.
