EEW will upgrade its Rostock monopile factory to handle foundations up to 12 metres in diameter, with the enhanced capacity coming online in 2028, per Renews.biz. The move positions the plant to serve the largest offshore turbine platforms entering series production over the next decade and reflects the industry-wide push toward fewer, larger foundations per project.
On the onshore side, Nordex booked a 34 MW turbine contract in Germany. EEF ordered five N175/6.X units for the Rauschenberg repowering project, per Renews.biz. Repowering orders of this type are becoming a consistent volume source for turbine OEMs in the German zone as older capacity ages out.
A Swiss wind farm cleared a court challenge, allowing the developer to open tenders for turbines and civil works, per Renews.biz. No capacity figure was disclosed in the source.
