Innovative products and a forward-looking companyENERCON has been one of the technology leaders in the wind energy industry for 30 years. The company was the first manufacturer of wind turbines to rely on a gearless drive concept, which is characteristic of all ENERCON wind turbines. ENERCON is also a pioneer in areas such as rotor blade design, control and grid connection technology and repeatedly demonstrates its great innovative strength with a large number of new technological developments.
Continuous research and development are a guarantee for the company's continued success. The same applies to production and service. All key components such as rotor, ring generator and grid feed-in system are manufactured in-house. This high level of vertical integration, which is unparalleled in the wind energy industry, ensures the high quality standard and high reliability of ENERCON wind turbines. This is also due to a customer-oriented service that guarantees the operator a technical availability of the systems of 97 percent. This overall concept sets high standards in technology, quality and safety and consolidates ENERCON's position as the German market leader.
The product portfolio includes wind turbines with outputs of 800 to 4,200 kilowatts. The latest turbine type is the E138 EP3 with 3.5 MW with a rotor diameter of 138 meters. The extended plant design stands for a more compact design while simultaneously optimizing processes in the areas of production and logistics. All ENERCON series are characterized by reliable technology, low maintenance requirements and high durability, thus ensuring a high degree of profitability for customers.
Thanks to the direct-drive synchronous generator and the innovative and modular full converter concept, ENERCON wind turbines offer a wide range of technical possibilities for adapting grid conditions. They have a grid feed-in system that is certified according to the latest grid connection conditions. This means that ENERCON wind turbines can be easily integrated into all supply and distribution grid structures. In addition, ENERON wind turbines offer numerous grid-supporting features.
In line with the company's claim of "Energy for the World", ENERCON is driving forward the supply of renewable solutions worldwide. ENERCON is expanding research and development as well as production and sales in line with demand. Internationally, ENERCON has a presence in the main markets with plants in Brazil, Sweden, Turkey, Portugal, Canada, France and Austria as well as a worldwide decentralised service and sales network.
A prudent and sustainable growth strategy guarantees ENERCON's stability. The independence and continuity of the company's orientation were sealed by the establishment of the Aloys Wobben Foundation in autumn 2012. Company founder and owner Aloys Wobben transferred his company shares to the foundation in order to permanently establish the sustainable and future-oriented orientation of ENERCON's corporate strategy.
The very good creditworthiness of the ENERCON Group was recently confirmed again by an external rating by Euler Hermes Rating GmbH: The analyses rate ENERCON's creditworthiness and future viability with an "AA" rating. This puts ENERCON well above the average compared to the economy as a whole. ENERCON customers can therefore rely not only on the high quality and reliability of the system technology, but also on a high degree of investment security.
