Nordex will supply the wind turbines for Albania’s first wind farm, which Verbund would build.
Nordex Group has received an order from Austrian energy company Verbund for the supply and installation of twelve N163/6.X wind turbines for an 84 MW project, Spille, in Albania.
The contract also includes a 15-year premium service agreement, Nordex said.
Verbund’s project was one of the winners at Albania’s first wind power auction. Two weeks ago the country’s Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy said that Verbund has secured all necessary permits and approvals for the construction of Spille Wind Park.
Reiner: The Spille project is a significant milestone in Albania´s energy transition
Verbund Green Power Managing Director Dietmar Reiner highlighted the Spille project as a significant milestone in Albania´s energy transition and an important step forward for the company’s growth strategy.
“Nordex’s expertise and commitment give us full confidence in this project, and our long-term partnership is founded on shared values and a shared vision for the future. Starting this journey together makes the project even more valuable to us,” he added.
Blanco: Entering a new market is always an important milestone for Nordex
According to José Luis Blanco, CEO of the Nordex Group, entering a new market is always an important milestone for the company.
The Spille project demonstrates the growing opportunities for wind energy in the country, in his view.
“With our N163/6.X technology and our long-term service offering, we look forward to contributing to the further diversification of Albania’s renewable energy mix,” Blanco pointed out.
Commissioning of the wind farm is planned for spring 2028
The Spille wind farm will be built around 50 kilometres south of the port city of Durrës. Nordex will supply its N163/6.X turbines on tubular steel towers with hub heights of 113 metres. The commissioning of the wind farm is planned for spring 2028, the update reads.
The Spille contract builds on the cooperation between Nordex and Verbund Green Power.
In January 2026, the companies entered into a multiyear framework agreement covering the potential supply of up to 700 MW of wind turbines for projects in six European markets. Albania was among the countries identified.
