The Nordex Group has received an order from Swedish renewable energy company OX2 for the supply and installation of 11 N175/6.X turbines in Romania. The contract for the Urleasca wind farm, with a total installed capacity of 77 MW, also includes a 35-year Premium Service agreement, according to a press release.
In parallel, OX2 has sold the Urleasca 77 MW ready-to-build wind farm to Norwegian renewable energy solutions provider Scatec ASA. OX2 is contracted to oversee the entire construction phase, scheduled to commence in Q3 2026, with commissioning planned for the second half of 2028. The wind farm holds a long-term Contract-for-Difference (CfD) with the Romanian State, providing revenue stability.
The wind farm will be located near the village of Urleasca in Brăila County, approximately 150 kilometers northeast of Bucharest in southeastern Romania. This project strengthens the Nordex Group's presence in Romania, where the company has contracted more than 500 MW in recent months.
“We are delighted to further strengthen our transnational cooperation with OX2 – this time in Romania. The country continues to offer attractive opportunities for the deployment of modern wind energy technology. By combining OX2’s international project development expertise with our latest N175/6.X technology, all companies will deliver efficient and competitive renewable electricity to the Romanian market,” said Slava Feklin, Country Manager Romania and Ukraine of the Nordex Group.
The importance of this order lies in its contribution to Romania's renewable energy goals and the demonstration of international collaboration in the wind energy sector. The CfD scheme ensures predictable revenue, making the project financially viable and attractive to investors. The involvement of multiple companies—Nordex as turbine supplier, OX2 as developer and constructor, and Scatec as buyer—highlights a trend of partnerships in the renewable energy industry to mitigate risks and leverage expertise.
Romania's commitment to expanding wind power is evident in its CfD auctions, which have drawn interest from major players. The Urleasca project adds to the country's growing wind capacity, which is part of its broader strategy to increase the share of renewables in its energy mix. According to the Romanian Wind Energy Association, wind energy already accounts for a significant portion of the country's electricity generation, and projects like this are essential for meeting EU climate targets.
The Nordex Group has commissioned more than 64 GW of wind power capacity in over 40 markets since 1985 and generated consolidated sales of around EUR 7.6 billion in 2025. The company currently has more than 11,100 employees and manufacturing facilities in Germany, Spain, Brazil, India, Türkiye, and the USA. Its product portfolio focuses on onshore turbines in the 4 to 7 MW+ classes, designed for markets with limited space and constrained grid capacity.
OX2 is a leading renewable energy developer with a project portfolio of about 33 GW across onshore and offshore wind, solar, and storage. The company is present in five European markets and Australia, employs about 500 people, and is headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden. OX2 is owned by EQT, one of the world’s largest private equity investors.
Scatec ASA, the buyer of the Urleasca wind farm, is a Norwegian renewable energy solutions provider with a strong track record in developing, building, and operating solar, wind, and hydro projects globally. The acquisition of the ready-to-build wind farm aligns with Scatec's strategy to expand its wind portfolio and increase its renewable energy capacity.
Construction of the Urleasca wind farm is expected to create local jobs and contribute to the economic development of Brăila County. The project is scheduled to be commissioned in the second half of 2028, and once operational, it will supply clean electricity to the Romanian grid, displacing fossil fuel generation and reducing carbon emissions.
The collaboration between Nordex, OX2, and Scatec illustrates the interconnected nature of the renewable energy industry, where companies combine their strengths to deliver large-scale projects. This order also reflects the growing confidence in Romania's renewable energy market, supported by government policies and the availability of EU funding.
