In 2022, gross capacity of onshore wind turbine installations increased in Germany by almost 25% to 2405 MW (2021: 1924 MW). The newly installed Nordex Group’s turbines had an average capacity of 4.45 MW.
Karsten Brüggemann, Vice President Region Central of the Nordex Group, said: “It makes us extremely proud to note that in recent years we have continuously advanced up the top group of manufacturers and have now become the market leader for the first time. This shows the excellence of our technology, which is ideally suited to the German market and is moving the energy turnaround forward. My thanks go firstly to our customers and to the confidence placed in our company. We also very much appreciate their patience as we were not able to install all the projects planned. Thanks also go to our colleagues who have worked tirelessly to facilitate the installations in the current difficult setting. We are looking forward to realising many more projects in Germany as a market of the future in the coming years and so strengthening this location: after all, we manufacture the nacelles in Rostock, in the leading plant of our global production network.”
