The Nordex Group is expanding its product portfolio in the 5MW segment and is launching a turbine variant specially tailored to the requirements of the US market. The N169/5.X has a rotor diameter of 169 metres and a power rating of up to 5.5MW, with a range of US-optimised towers available.
 
The N169/5.X is particularly suitable for wind regions in the USA without intense turbulence and with low to medium wind speeds. The Nordex local supply chain already in place ensures that local content requirements are met to benefit from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Main components such as nacelles, drive trains and hubs are to be manufactured in the USA. The Nordex Group will manufacture the N169/5.X as well as the N163 turbine for the US market in its facility in West Branch, Iowa. Production of the N169/5.X is scheduled to start in 2026.
