Founded in 2004, EWT developed the so-called direct drive technology and reacted to address the persistent problems with the reliability of Wind turbines with gearboxes. The first gearless 900 kW Wind turbine was installed in the Netherlands in 2005, in North America in 2006 and in the United Kingdom in 2006 2008.
In the same year , EWT established a subsidiary in the United States and was then able to successfully enter the Swedish and UK markets , where EWT already a leading player for 500kW feed-in tariff projects was.
A prototype of a 2 MW Direct drive wind turbine was installed in 2010 after it was developed in 2008. In addition, ETW produces the detailed Design of a 3 MW turbine with direct drive for Onshore projects.
