ACRWORLD is proud to partner with the Nordex Group, a global leader in wind turbine manufacturing, with decades of experience in designing, constructing, and operating wind turbines, who have delivered over 50 GW of sustainable energy worldwide. With a presence in over 40 countries and manufacturing facilities in Germany, Spain, China, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, and India, Nordex is the 4th largest wind turbine manufacturer globally (excluding China). Their deep expertise lies in reducing energy costs, optimizing sites, and ensuring on-time project execution. We are supported by a talented team of over 10,000 employees dedicated to powering your next wind project.

Nordex Oceania Pty Ltd is the Australian subsidiary of the Nordex Group, established to expand our global presence and strengthen our foothold in all major wind markets. Over the past six years, Nordex has built a solid reputation in Australia by developing a local workforce for the wind industry. Our past projects include the Mortlake South Wind Farm and the Mt Gellibrand Wind Farm in Victoria, which have made significant contributions to local communities. With 162 Nordex Delta 4000-N163/5.7 turbines and a total output of 924 MW, the MacIntyre Wind Farm is Nordex’s largest single wind farm globally and one of the largest onshore wind farms in the world.
This project will generate enough renewable energy to power over 700,000 households, avoiding nearly 3 million tons of CO2 emissions, while also providing significant economic benefits across the Goondiwindi, Southern Downs, and Toowoomba Regional Council areas.
