Canada Secures 500 MW Wind Power Deal with Danish Firm

One of the world's windiest countries just made a bold move to turn its gusty climate into clean power for hundreds of thousands of homes.

Canada has secured agreements with Danish renewable energy company Nordex to supply 73 wind turbines capable of generating 508 MW of electricity. The massive deal represents a significant leap forward in Canada's renewable energy strategy and commitment to meeting its 2030 and 2050 climate targets.

The turbines include Nordex's latest technology, featuring the new N163 model and N175/6.X machines. The N175 model will be deployed in Canada for the first time, marking a significant milestone for both the company and the country's renewable energy sector.

The project makes strategic sense given Canada's geography. Coastal areas in Newfoundland and Labrador consistently experience strong gale-force winds, providing ideal conditions for wind energy generation.

Installation won't happen overnight. Delivery and full installation of the turbines is scheduled for completion between 2027 and 2028, giving teams time to properly execute the complex deployment across multiple locations.

Nordex has designed the turbines specifically for Canada's challenging climate. Each turbine will feature an advanced anti-icing system to ensure consistent power generation even during harsh winter conditions that might otherwise reduce efficiency or halt production entirely.

One confirmed project includes a 200 MW contract for a development in New Brunswick. However, both Nordex and project developers have kept other specific locations and partner names private for now.

The Ripple Effect

This partnership creates benefits on both sides of the Atlantic. Canada gains access to cutting-edge renewable technology and expertise for large-scale wind developments that will power communities for decades. Nordex expands its footprint in the North American market while demonstrating its turbines can perform in extreme weather conditions.

The collaboration shows how international partnerships can accelerate the global transition to clean energy. When countries share technology and expertise across borders, everyone moves faster toward climate goals.

"We are thankful for the continued trust of our customers," said Manav Sharma, CEO of Nordex. "The orders further strengthen Nordex Group's market position in Canada."

The wind project joins a growing wave of renewable energy developments launching across the globe in 2026, signaling genuine momentum in the fight against climate change.
