The Nordex Group is entering the Albanian market for the first time, with an order from VERBUND for the supply and installation of 12 N163/6.X wind turbines for an 84 MW wind farm, project Spille, in Albania. The contract also includes a 15-year premium service agreement.
This project represents the first wind energy development in Albania. VERBUND was awarded the contract following an international tender, highlighting the company’s commitment to supporting the country’s energy transition.
Dietmar Reiner, Managing Director VERBUND Green Power, said: “The project Spille, Albania’s first wind farm, marks a significant milestone in Albania´s energy transition and represents an important step forward for our growth strategy. Nordex’s expertise and commitment give us full confidence in this project, and our long-term partnership is founded on shared values and a shared vision for the future. Starting this journey together makes the project even more valuable to us.”
José Luis Blanco, CEO of the Nordex Group, added: “Entering a new market is always an important milestone for us, and we are very pleased to take this step in Albania together with VERBUND. The Spille project demonstrates the growing opportunities for wind energy in the country. With our N163/6.X technology and our long-term service offering, we look forward to contributing to the further diversification of Albania’s renewable energy mix.”
The Spille wind farm will be built around 50 km south of the port city of Durrës. Nordex will supply the N163/6.X turbines on tubular steel towers with hub heights of 113 m. Commissioning of the wind farm is planned for spring 2028.
The Spille contract builds on the co-operation between Nordex and VERBUND Green Power. In January 2026, the companies signed a multi-year framework agreement covering the potential supply of up to 700 MW of wind turbines for projects in six European markets, with Albania among the countries identified.
