ENERCON Global GmbH

ENERCON wind energy converters have been known for their innovative technology, outstanding reliability and excellent returns on investment for 40 years.

As a pioneer of wind energy technology and a partner of the energy transition, ENERCON specialises in the turbine and technology development, production, sales and servicing of onshore wind energy converters. Pursuing its mission of ‘Energy for the world’, ENERCON has driven sustainable energy generation from onshore wind since 1984. Thanks to its innovative wind energy converter technology, high quality standards and a total installed power of more than 61 GW, it is one of the world’s leading manufacturers.

Products and services

ENERCON’s product portfolio includes wind energy converters with nominal power outputs​​​​​​​ ranging from 2,000 to 5,560 kilowatts. This allows ENERCON to readily provide models for a wide variety of wind sites. For 2024, ENERCON has announced its latest wind turbine model: The E-175 EP5 turbine has a nominal power of more thank 6 MW and 175 metres of rotor diameters. The E-nacelle is also used for this type of turbine with electrical systems built into the machine house. For 2026 ENERCON announced an E-175 with a nominal power of 7 MW thanks to advanced two-parted generator technology.

In addition, project planners and operators can draw on a wealth of consultation and planning knowledge at ENERCON. From wind turbine selection, site layout and approval to project financing and energy marketing, the company works together with external partners to support its customers at all steps on their path to more renewable energy. ENERCON also implements turnkey projects at the customer’s request. The company also offers tailor-made solutions for the maintenance and repair of wind turbines during ongoing operation, as well as innovative repowering and end-of-life concepts. More than 350 Service stations worldwide ensure quick and trouble-free technical support of ENERCON wind energy converters.

Research, development and production

Characterised by the inventive talent of founder Dr Aloys Wobben, ENERCON is still setting new standards in technology, quality and cost-efficiency of wind turbines today. ENERCON was the first of all the manufacturers to make use of a gearless drive concept, and with its effectivity and compact design this is still a distinguishing feature of ENERCON wind energy converters all these years later.

Due to a grid feed system certified in accordance with the latest grid codes, ENERCON wind turbines can be integrated into all supply and distribution network structures without any issues. Intelligent control means they make a significant contribution to maintaining and improving grid stability. With its own research and development unit, ENERCON guarantees the high demands made by its stakeholders are included in new, ever more powerful and efficient wind energy converter models.

By having its own production network, wind energy technology trailblazer ENERCON is in possession of sound knowledge along the entire value creation chain. Today, ENERCON also brings this valuable production knowledge to its suppliers and partners the whole world over. This helps to ensure that all components meet the strict ENERCON quality standards and are optimally adapted to the end product. As a result, ENERCON wind turbines are particularly reliable, low-maintenance, long-lasting and cost-effective. In conjunction with the ENERCON maintenance service, the company guarantees operators and owners a technical availability of 97 per cent.
