Shares in Nordex SE rose by over 4% on Thursday after the German onshore wind turbine manufacturer disclosed a significant increase in project orders for the second quarter of 2026.
Order volumes and short-term pricing
Nordex reported order intake of 3,054 megawatts in its Projects segment for Q2 2026, excluding service business. That figure represents a 32.2% rise from 2,310 megawatts recorded in the same quarter of 2025. For the first half of 2026, order intake totaled 4,923 megawatts, up 9.6% from 4,492 megawatts in the first half of 2025.
The company said the average sales price per megawatt of capacity was 0.97 million euros in the second quarter, unchanged from Q2 2025. Across the first half of the year, the average sales price increased to 0.95 million euros per megawatt from 0.92 million euros per megawatt a year earlier. Nordex attributed the first-half rise primarily to project scope and regional mix effects.
Geographic mix and project activity
Between April and June, customers ordered a total of 496 wind turbines for projects in 10 countries. The strongest individual markets for turbine orders in the quarter were Germany, the United States and Türkiye.
"With an order intake of around 800 megawatts in the US this quarter, we’ve reached an important milestone. It reflects the trust our customers place in us and the strength of our organisation in the American market. We remain focused on reliable execution as we continue to grow alongside our customers," said Jose Luis Blanco, chief executive officer of the Nordex Group.
Company footprint and product range
Nordex said it has commissioned more than 64 gigawatts of wind power capacity across more than 40 markets since 1985. In 2025 the company reported consolidated sales of around 7.6 billion euros. It employs more than 11,100 people and operates manufacturing facilities in Germany, Spain, Brazil, India, the United States and Türkiye.
The company’s product portfolio concentrates on onshore turbines in the 4 to 7 megawatt-plus classes.
