Nordex Q3 Order Intake Rose 29.5% to 2.8 Gigawatts on Global Demand

Nordex reported a 29.5% year-on-year increase in third-quarter order intake to 2.8 gigawatts, indicating sustained demand for its wind turbine technology in international markets. This growth follows the company's order volume expansion over the first nine months of 2026.

In the projects segment, excluding the service business, order intake reached 2,810 megawatts. This is an increase from 2,170 megawatts during the same period in 2025, according to an Investing.com report.

"Our order intake is becoming more globally diversified, and the third quarter confirms this," said José Luis Blanco, Nordex Chief Executive, in a statement. "Türkiye led with more than 900 MW, and in the US we have now booked more than 1.3 GW year to date."

Year-to-Date Performance and Pricing Trends

The third-quarter momentum contributed to the performance for the first nine months of the year. Nordex recorded a total order intake of 7,733 megawatts for this period, a 16.1% increase compared to the 6,661 megawatts logged in the first nine months of 2025.

While volume increased, the average sales price per megawatt declined. In the third quarter of 2026, the average price was €0.90 million per megawatt, down from €0.93 million in the third quarter of 2025. This pricing shift accompanies the company’s expansion into regional markets, including contributions from Germany, Turkey, and the United States.

What Increased Orders Mean for Manufacturing

For wind turbine manufacturers, order intake serves as a primary indicator of future revenue and manufacturing capacity utilization. As Nordex scales to meet these 2.8 gigawatt-level quarterly commitments, the company must manage the logistical and supply chain requirements associated with deploying wind energy infrastructure across different regulatory and geographic environments.

The ability to maintain a high volume of orders while navigating fluctuations in average sales prices remains a challenge for the sector. Investors and industry analysts monitor these figures to gauge how effectively the company can translate its order book into operational profitability.
