Currently ENERCON is celebrating two significant milestones in the company’s history. Firstly,
since August they have installed over ten gigawatts of wind capacity. And the second
momentous occasion is the installation of the ten thousandth ENERCON wind turbine in the
Hunsrück region (German state of Rhineland-Palatinate) at the end of September.
Both events are the fruit of our company’s success and innovative technology. While the first
ENERCON turbine was produced and installed by a tiny four man company in 1985, the thousandth
turbine was – ten years later – already being manufactured in a medium-sized firm
well on its way to conquering the international market. Today, another ten years later,
ENERCON has developed into a large-scale enterprise, producing sophisticated high-performance
gearless wind energy converters and is one of the few companies in the wind
turbine industry with outstanding vertical integration and a product portfolio containing
turbines ranging from 100 kW to 6 MW.
Such rapid development is first and foremost due to their employees’ commitment and dedication.
