North America

Founded in 1985, the Nordex Group has been a pioneer in the wind energy for decades. Since entering the U.S. market in 2000, Nordex has expanded across North America, focusing on its two key markets: the United States and Canada. In the United States, nearly 270 gigawatts of clean energy have already been installed, supplying 15.5% of the country’s electricity. Today, wind power is the leading source of renewable electricity, contributing 10.1% of total electricity (source: American Clean Power Association).

In Canada, wind energy has emerged as the most cost-effective source of new electricity generation over the past decade, adding more capacity than any other energy type. The country has committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 40–45% by 2030 compared with 2005 levels and aims to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 (source: Canadian Wind Energy Association).

Nordex’s regional headquarters is located in Chicago, Illinois, with a second office, production facility, and training center in West Branch, Iowa. In Canada, Nordex has recently expanded its presence by establishing a dedicated team and office in Montreal. A network of highly skilled technicians and service specialists operates from multiple service points across the region, ensuring the reliable maintenance of wind turbines.

Our proven N163/5.X and N175/6.X turbines are available in multiple configurations, making them ideal for land-limited and certain grid-constrained locations in the U.S. and Canada. In Canada, the Nordex Group offers the N163/5.X turbine with cold-climate variants and the advanced Nordex Anti-Icing System. These features ensure reliable and efficient operation in low-temperature environments, meeting the unique challenges of Canadian wind energy projects. In the United States, Nordex has expanded its 5 MW product portfolio with the new N169/5.X turbine, built on the trusted Delta4000 platform. Developed for the U.S. market requirements, it leverages proven components to boost energy yield – especially on projects with limited grid capacity – through an optimized capacity factor. A range of U.S.-optimized towers will ensure maximum efficiency. Both the N169/5.X and the N163/5.X turbines will be manufactured locally at our West Branch, Iowa facility, benefiting from Nordex’ regional supply chain. Production of the N169/5.X is scheduled to begin in 2026.
