German manufacturer Nordex Group will supply and install turbines for the Spille wind farm. Awarded by Austrian utility Verbund, this milestone development marks Albania’s first commercial wind project and represents Nordex’s entry into the domestic market.
The 84MW facility is located approximately 50km south of Durrës. Nordex will deliver 12 N163/6.X turbines on 113m tubular steel towers, alongside a 15-year premium service contract. Scheduled for commissioning in spring 2028, the site will generate 130,000MWh of electricity annually. Civil engineering activities are already underway, led by Strabag.
This order stems from a multi-year framework agreement covering the potential delivery of up to 700MW of hardware across six European nations. Ultimately, the Spille development will assist Albania in diversifying its generation mix beyond its traditional reliance on hydropower.
