Luxcara announced on 25 August 2025 that it had reserved 19 Siemens Gamesa 15.5 MW (SG 14-236 with power boost) turbines for the Waterkant offshore wind farm on BSH site N-6.7 in the German North Sea. The reservation runs in parallel with Luxcara's 97-turbine reservation of the same machine class for the adjacent Waterekke project and is conditional on synergy assessment with that larger neighbouring development. The SGRE reservation supersedes the July 2024 Ming Yang preferred-supplier agreement (16 × up-to-18.5 MW), which Luxcara and Ming Yang mutually terminated on 25-26 August 2025; Luxcara cited fleet-standardisation with Waterekke as the primary technical reason while geopolitical scrutiny of Chinese turbine supply in Germany and the EU also formed a backdrop. The turbine change has been raised with the relevant approval authorities and the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy. Final firm contract not yet signed.
