Nordex said Quebec accounts for nearly 60% of its Canadian project portfolio, more than 1.2 GW, as the turbine maker welcomed the filing of the province's Integrated Energy Resource Management Plan (IERMP) in a July 9, 2026 release issued from Montreal.

The German manufacturer, whose Canadian headquarters is in Montreal, called the filing a significant milestone in the long-term planning of Quebec's energy development. The statement was distributed by Canada NewsWire with Nordex Energy Canada as the source, and is marked as a paid placement.

For a supplier, the value of a provincial resource plan sits in order visibility. "The IERMP sends a positive signal to the entire sector. Predictable planning not only helps meet Quebec's growing energy needs but also strengthens a robust supply chain capable of supporting this growth," said Sabrina Harbec, Head of Corporate Relationships - North America at Nordex.

Harbec said the plan establishes a long-term vision that lets the wind energy ecosystem prepare and invest sustainably. She added that Quebec has all the assets required to strengthen its position as a North American leader in wind energy.

The company reiterated its commitment to continued collaboration with Hydro-Quebec, the Ministry of Economy, Innovation and Energy (MEIE), government partners, communities, and stakeholders across the sector. The release describes Quebec as the birthplace of Canada's wind energy industry, with recognized know-how and an industrial ecosystem behind it.

The Quebec concentration is material against group scale. Nordex generated consolidated sales of around EUR 7.6 billion in 2025. The group has commissioned more than 64 GW of wind capacity across more than 40 markets since 1985.

Production sits outside Canada. Nordex employs more than 11,100 people and runs factories in Germany, Spain, Brazil, India and the United States. Its product portfolio is focused on onshore turbines in the 4 to 7 MW+ classes, the segment that would serve any Quebec build-out.

Nordex SE is listed on the MDAX and TecDAX of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under ISIN DE000A0D6554. That listing means the Quebec pipeline is one of the disclosed regional exposures behind a mid-cap European turbine supplier rather than a private developer position.

The 1.2 GW figure is a portfolio measure, not a booked order. What converts planning certainty into turbine contracts runs through Hydro-Quebec procurement and the MEIE, both named by Nordex as counterparties for continued work.
