Nordex Sees Wind Installs Climbing in Germany Even as State Aid Is Cut

BERLIN -- Nordex SE, the best performer among Germany’s biggest stocks in 2013, expects its wind-turbine installations in the country to gain as much as 30 percent this year as developers rush to beat a reduction in state subsidies.

Nordex, which almost tripled German installations in 2013, is benefiting from an increase in orders by customers seeking to lock in aid levels before the cuts take hold, Chief Executive Officer Juergen Zeschky said in a Jan. 31 interview at the company’s headquarters in Hamburg. The shares rose.

Germany, which added a record 2,998 megawatts of onshore turbines last year, plans to reduce aid by as much as 20 percent in 2015 from 2013. While the first cuts could take effect this year, onshore developers may be able to claim the current amount if they secure a construction permit by Aug. 1, instead of Jan. 22, after state premiers negotiated a delay, Zeschky said.

“Some clients in Germany are bringing forward orders as government plans to cut aid for renewables have caused uncertainty among investors about the profitability of wind farms in the future,” Zeschky said.

Nordex’s Rostock plant is ramping up production of nacelles, which house the generator, gearbox and drivetrain, from about 550 units a year and could double output if demand increased further, Zeschky said.

Nordex expects installations in Germany to climb 20 percent to 30 percent from last year’s 251 megawatts, he said.

That compares with estimates by Germany’s BWE wind lobby for installations in 2014 to remain stable at about 3 gigawatts or drop to 2.5 gigawatts.(...)
