Verbund Green Power has forged a partnership with Nordex Group for the potential procurement of wind turbines.
Verbund Green Power, a subsidiary of Austrian state-owned energy utility Verbund, has entered into a multiyear framework agreement with leading wind turbine producer Nordex Group for the potential procurement of wind turbines of up to 700 MW in total capacity, according to a joint press release.
The agreement runs through 2030.
The power plants are planned in six markets
The agreement was officially signed in Verbund Green Power’s Madrid office by Dietmar Reiner, Managing Director of Verbund Green Power, and José Luis Blanco, CEO of Nordex Group.
They expressed willingness to facilitate the supply and delivery of up to 105 Nordex onshore wind turbines for Verbund Green Power’s wind projects. They are are planned in Austria, Germany, Spain, Italy, Romania and Albania, the update reads.
Of note, Christopher Billot, Sales Director for the Mediterranean region of Nordex Group, said at Belgrade Energy Forum 2025 that the Balkans is a key region for his company.
The deal would cover approximately 50% of Verbund Green Power’s wind project pipeline.
Blanco: We’re creating a clear path to deliver reliable, cost-efficient wind energy together with Verbund
Nordex Group CEO José Luis Blanco explained that through this multi‑year framework, the company would provide the turbine capacity to convert an ambitious pipeline into clean generation across six multi‑country markets in Europe.
“With up to 700 MW of our latest 7 MW class onshore turbines slated across Austria, Germany, Spain, Italy, Romania and Albania, we’re creating a clear path to deliver reliable, cost-efficient wind energy together with Verbund through 2030,” he stressed.
Strugl: The collaboration with Nordex strengthens our supply options as our projects mature
Blanco recalled that late last year Nordex received a first order from Verbund for nine N175/6.X turbines for Romania. “We’re expanding our footprint in this country,” he added.
According to Verbund CEO Michael Strugl, the collaboration with Nordex supports his company’s strategic objective of scaling up renewable generation across Europe.
“It strengthens our supply options as our projects mature, allowing us to secure the supply chain in a very competitive environment and deliver on Mission V targets, contributing to a secure and accelerated energy transition in our markets,” Strugl added.
