Nordex SE reported an order intake of 1,869 megawatts in its Projects segment for the first quarter of 2026, the company said on Tuesday. That total compares with 2,182 megawatts recorded in the same period a year earlier, representing a year-on-year decline in capacity booked.
The manufacturer recorded an increase in its average sales price, which rose to 0.91 million euros per megawatt of capacity in Q1 2026, compared with 0.87 million euros per megawatt in the first quarter of 2025. The company attributed the uptick in average pricing to effects from project scope and the regional mix of orders.
Across the January-to-March quarter, Nordex secured orders for 292 wind turbines destined for projects in 13 different countries. Germany, Türkiye and Sweden were identified as the strongest single-country markets for the period.
Commenting on the quarter, José Luis Blanco, CEO of the Nordex Group, said the company experienced a solid start to the year, noting an order intake of around 1.9 GW that was in line with expectations. He pointed to a continued healthy order pipeline in Europe and North America and reiterated confidence in the expected order momentum for the full year.
The company’s reported figures show a mixed picture: a reduction in megawatts ordered compared with the prior-year quarter, but a modest improvement in realized average sales price per megawatt. The geographic spread of the 292 turbines booked in Q1 spans 13 countries, with three markets standing out by volume.
Nordex’s commentary highlights reliance on an active pipeline in key regions to support the company’s full-year objectives. The combination of a lower order volume versus the prior-year quarter and higher average pricing driven by project-specific and regional factors frames the company’s Q1 performance.
