The Nordex Group has received an order from Swedish renewable energy company OX2 to supply and install 11 N175/6.X turbines for the Urleasca wind farm in Romania. The contract, which includes a 35-year Premium Service agreement, adds 77 MW to Nordex's growing portfolio in the region. This order follows a series of recent successes for Nordex in Romania, where the company has contracted more than 500 MW in the last months.
In parallel, OX2 has sold the Urleasca 77 MW ready-to-build wind farm to Norwegian renewable energy solutions provider Scatec ASA. OX2 will oversee the entire construction phase, scheduled to commence in Q3 2026, with commissioning planned for the second half of 2028. The wind farm holds a long-term Contract-for-Difference (CfD) with the Romanian State, ensuring stable revenue and contributing to the country's renewable energy targets.
The Urleasca wind farm will be located near the village of Urleasca in Brăila County, approximately 150 kilometers northeast of Bucharest in southeastern Romania. This strategic location is well-suited for wind energy generation, and the project is expected to deliver efficient and competitive renewable electricity to the Romanian market.
Slava Feklin, Country Manager Romania and Ukraine of the Nordex Group, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration: “We are delighted to further strengthen our transnational cooperation with OX2 – this time in Romania. The country continues to offer attractive opportunities for the deployment of modern wind energy technology. By combining OX2’s international project development expertise with our latest N175/6.X technology, all companies will deliver efficient and competitive renewable electricity to the Romanian market.”
The N175/6.X turbine is part of Nordex's Delta4000 series, designed for moderate and low-wind sites, offering high efficiency and reliability. The 35-year Premium Service agreement underscores Nordex's commitment to long-term operational support and performance optimization.
This order reinforces Nordex's strong market position in Romania, where the demand for renewable energy is growing. Romania has set ambitious targets to increase its renewable energy capacity, and projects like Urleasca are pivotal in achieving those goals. The CfD mechanism provides price stability, encouraging further investment in wind power.
OX2, a leading renewable energy developer with a portfolio of about 33 GW across onshore and offshore wind, solar, and storage, continues to expand its footprint in Europe. The company is present in five European markets and Australia, and is owned by EQT, one of the world’s largest private equity investors.
Scatec ASA, the buyer of the wind farm, is a Norwegian renewable energy solutions provider, adding to its portfolio of solar, wind, and hydro projects worldwide.
The Urleasca project is a significant step for all parties involved, highlighting the cross-border cooperation that is becoming increasingly common in the renewable energy sector. With construction set to begin next year, the wind farm is expected to contribute to Romania's energy transition and provide clean power to thousands of homes.
