Today’s renewable energy news includes announcements from Nordex, RWE, Siemens Gamesa, among others.
Nordex Wins Turbine Contract for 58MW Donegal Wind Project
Nordex has secured a contract to supply its high-performance N163/5.X turbines for a 58-MW wind project in County Donegal, Ireland. The agreement includes turbine delivery, installation, and a long-term service contract, ensuring strong reliability and customer-focused lifecycle support. The investment strengthens Ireland’s renewable capacity and aligns with its national clean-energy targets. Nordex’s innovative Delta4000 technology boosts energy yield, improving project efficiency and long-term value for the developer. Once operational, the wind farm will generate clean electricity for thousands of homes, reduce carbon emissions, and enhance regional energy security. The project also benefits the local economy through construction activity and ongoing maintenance jobs, reinforcing the importance of sustainable infrastructure growth.
RWE Begins Repowering at Calle Wind Farm in Germany
RWE has started repowering work at the Calle wind farm in North Rhine-Westphalia, replacing older turbines with modern, higher-capacity machines to significantly boost energy output. The project will see outdated units removed and new, more efficient turbines installed, showcasing RWE’s innovation-driven approach to extending asset life cycles. This investment enhances energy production, reduces operational costs, and maximises land use while maintaining strong community and customer focus through reduced noise and visual impact. Once completed, the upgraded site will deliver increased clean power generation, supporting Germany’s renewable-energy expansion goals and contributing to local sustainability. The repowering also helps cut emissions more effectively and ensures long-term reliability of renewable assets in the region.
Siemens Gamesa to Leverage AI Supercomputer for Next-Gen Turbine Innovation
Siemens Gamesa will use a powerful new AI supercomputer from parent company Siemens to accelerate wind turbine design, testing and optimisation. The system enables high-fidelity simulations that traditionally took weeks to be completed in hours, driving major innovation in blade aerodynamics, structural performance and energy yield forecasting. This strategic investment strengthens Siemens Gamesa’s ability to deliver more efficient, reliable turbines while reducing development time and costs. The initiative also enhances customer focus by enabling better project customisation and faster technical support. Ultimately, the AI-driven approach will help operators achieve higher output, improved asset performance and lower lifecycle emissions, supporting a more competitive and sustainable global wind industry.
