The Nordex Group has received a new order in Germany from Energieversorgung Mittelrhein (evm), together with Stadtwerke Karlsruhe and Thüga Erneuerbare Energien: for the 77 MW Schneifelhöhe wind farm, Nordex will install eleven N163/6.X wind turbines. The Nordex Group will also be responsible for maintenance of the turbines under a 20-year full-service contract.
The Schneifelhöhe project is being developed on the forested Schneifel ridge in the Bitburg-Prüm district of Rhineland-Palatinate. The Delta4000 turbines, each with a nominal output of 7 MW and hub heights of 164 meters, take advantage of excellent wind conditions at an altitude of 630 to 670 meters above sea level.
Construction on site began in October 2025, with commissioning scheduled for the second half of 2027.
'We are very pleased to be making another important contribution to the energy transition in Rhineland-Palatinate with this project and to sustainably strengthen the region’s security of energy supply,' said Felipe Villalon Waldburg-Zeil, Director Sales Region Central of the Nordex Group. 'For this order, we are working in partnership with the region’s leading utility Energieversorgung Mittelrhein (evm), Stadtwerke Karlsruhe, and Thüga Erneuerbare Energien. Our state-of-the-art Delta4000 turbines, specially designed for the region’s wind conditions, will be used. This means our customers benefit from innovative technology combined with reliable partnership, enabling sustainable, forward-looking energy supply for the local people.'
