The Nordex Group has secured orders from ENOVA and BMR Energy Solutions to supply and install 30 wind turbines across Germany, with a combined capacity exceeding 197 MW. The projects span three states—Lower Saxony, Schleswig-Holstein, and North Rhine-Westphalia—and each contract includes a 20-year Premium Service agreement.
Nordex secures 197 MW order across four German wind projects
Four projects. Three German states. One manufacturer. The deal is straightforward to describe, but the scale is worth sitting with for a moment. Nordex will supply 30 turbines across a mix of new-build and repowering sites, and every contract comes bundled with a 20-year premium service agreement—meaning Nordex stays in the picture long after the last turbine goes live.
The orders come from two clients: ENOVA, one of Germany’s biggest onshore wind operators, and BMR energy solutions, a project developer based in North Rhine-Westphalia. Their roles differ, but they share one of the four projects directly. That makes this deal part bilateral supplier arrangement and part three-way collaboration.
Project-by-project breakdown of the four wind farm contracts
The largest single project is ENOVA’s repowering effort in Boldecker Land, Lower Saxony. Nordex will deliver ten N163/6. X turbines for a combined output of 68 MW. Installation kicks off in Q4 2027, with commissioning targeted for early 2028.
Further north, ENOVA has ordered six N149/5. X turbines for a wind farm in Schleswig-Holstein — 34.2 MW in total. Construction starts in early 2028, with the site expected online by mid-2028, a slightly later timeline than the other three.
In North Rhine-Westphalia, two separate projects account for another 14 turbines. The first is the Nettetal wind farm, originally developed by BMR and later sold to ENOVA. Nordex will supply five N163/6. X turbines there, with construction beginning in October 2027 and commissioning planned for early 2028.
The fourth project — Breberen, also in NRW — is structured differently. ENOVA and BMR are working as partners here rather than as buyer and seller. Nordex will deliver nine N163/6. X turbines for this repowering site, with installation starting in October 2027 and commissioning in Q2 2028.
Repowering projects aim to increase output and site efficiency
Two of the four projects — Boldecker Land and Breberen — are repowering jobs. Older turbines come out, newer high-capacity ones go in. The goal is simple: more electricity from the same land.
Repowering has become a go-to strategy in Germany’s wind sector. Established sites already have grid connections, access roads, and local buy-in, which means swapping aging hardware for modern turbines can meaningfully boost output without the permitting complexity of breaking ground somewhere entirely new.
Breberen stands out for how it’s structured. ENOVA brings operational scale; BMR brings development expertise in western Germany. Together they’re pushing the project forward as partners—not the typical developer-operator dynamic—a sign of how both companies are navigating an increasingly competitive market.
Context: ENOVA’s growth targets and BMR’s role in western Germany
ENOVA is already one of Germany’s largest onshore wind operators. Its current portfolio sits at 1 GW — enough, the company says, to supply around one million German households with green electricity. It isn’t stopping there, though.
By the end of 2030, ENOVA is targeting a 3 GW portfolio and aims to grow its assets under management to $5.4 billion (EUR 5 billion). That’s roughly tripling current capacity in six years. Delivering four projects simultaneously across multiple states is exactly the kind of operational pace that the target demands.
BMR Energy Solutions brings a different profile. Based in Geilenkirchen, NRW, it specializes in onshore wind development in western Germany and originally developed both Nettetal and Breberen. Nettetal got sold to ENOVA; Breberen became a joint venture between the two. BMR’s strength is upstream—site origination and development—which feeds directly into what operators like ENOVA need to keep their pipelines moving.
Nordex describes both client relationships as long-standing. Karsten Brüggemann, vice president of the Europe region at Nordex, noted the company has built a “trusting relationship” with BMR across multiple projects and said it was glad to be deepening its work with ENOVA as well. Hendrik Böschen, Chief Operations Officer at ENOVA, pointed to the parallel delivery of several large-scale projects as evidence of the company’s “operational strength and scalability” in the German market.
Highlights from the Nordex, ENOVA, and BMR deal
Here’s what this deal actually adds up to: Nordex supplies 30 wind turbines—N163/6. X and N149/5. X models — across four projects totaling more than 197 MW, with sites in Lower Saxony, Schleswig-Holstein, and North Rhine-Westphalia. All four contracts include 20-year premium service agreements.
Two projects are repowering efforts. One was developed by BMR and sold to ENOVA; one is a direct ENOVA-BMR partnership. Installation at three of the four sites begins in late 2027, while the Schleswig-Holstein project follows in early 2028. All four are expected to be commissioned by mid-2028 at the latest.
