Hamburg, 16 July 2024. On 12 July, the Nordex Group installed the world’s first N175/6. X turbine at the Bürgerwindpark Janneby (community wind farm) in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. With a rotor sweeping domain of 24,053 square meters and a rated capacity of up to 6. 8 MW, the N175/6. X is the toughest Nordex turbine, especially for areas with medium and light winds.
The special feature of the wind turbine is the approximately 86 meter long one-piece rotor blade: both the 175 meter rotor diameter and the new blade design contribute particularly to a very high performance, especially in light winds. .
“The installation of the first N175/6. X is a vital milestone for Nordex. Our colleagues have worked very hard and intensively together to ensure the timely progress and installation of this pilot turbine. The N175/6. X is something else variant of our world-proven Delta4000 platform, validated components, thanks to the giant turbine rotor we will set new criteria on land in Germany and Europe in terms of greater electrical efficiency, especially in times of low wind,” says José Luis Blanco, Group CEO Nordex.
