SPECIALLY TAILORED TO LOCAL MARKET REQUIREMENTS
The Nordex N169/5.X variant, part of the Delta4000 series, is the perfect solution for the U.S. market’s wind energy needs. With a rotor diameter of 169 meters and a power rating of up to 5.5 megawatts, it will deliver exceptional performance in low to medium wind speeds and low turbulence, and allows for the addressing of additional customer needs at grid constrained sites. To ensure maximum efficiency, a range of U.S.-optimized towers will be available.
Nordex is committed to supporting the U.S. economy by manufacturing key components such as nacelles, drive trains, and hubs locally. By doing so, the company will meet local content requirements whilst also benefitting from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Both the N169/5.X and N163/5.X turbines will be manufactured leveraging Nordex’ local supply chain. The production of the N169/5.X is set to begin at the company’s facility in West Branch, Iowa in 2026.
