On 12th July, the Nordex Group installed the first N175/6.X turbine at the Bürgerwindpark Janneby (community wind farm) in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.With a rotor swept area of 24,053 square metres and a nominal capacity of up to 6.8 MW, the N175/6.X is the most powerful Nordex turbine and is designed for medium and light wind sites. The turbine has a single-piece, approximately 86-metre-long rotor blade and a rotor diameter of 175 metres. The turbine is installed on a tubular steel tower with a hub height of 112 metres. In the following months, the N175/6.X will undergo extensive tests at the site. A second N175/6.X is to follow in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in late autumn 2024. Here, the turbine type will be installed on a hybrid tower developed by Nordex itself with a hub height of 179 metres.
