The development of the N175/6.X, the latest Nordex turbine, and its planned first tower variants is proceeding on schedule. In the course of this year the Nordex Group is to install the first two turbines with different hub heights in Germany.Two tower concepts are to be used here: a tubular steel tower of 112 metres and an in-house developed Nordex hybrid tower made of concrete and steel with a hub height of 179 metres. Nordex already obtained at the end of 2023 the first DIBt type approval of the N175/6.X for the 112 metres tubular steel tower from TÜV SÜD. Now TÜV SÜD has issued the type approval for the new hybrid tower of 179 metres developed by Nordex in-house. The hybrid tower consists of up to 20-metre long, convex metal segments assembled on-site and tensioned before the steel sections, the nacelle and the rotor are installed on them.
