Partners plan to jointly realize onshore wind projects in Europe / ENERCON will supply and construct the wind turbines and also take care of servicing
Onshore windturbine manufacturer ENERCON and RWE, one of the world's leading renewable energy companies, have agreed on a long-term partnership to jointly realize onshore wind projects in Europe. The companies have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at the Wind Europe conference to define the terms of their cooperation.
The multi-year agreement covers collaboration on projects in most of RWE coremarkets in Europe. ENERCON will be responsible for the supply, installation andservicing of the wind turbines in line with the principles of RWE ’s strategy of self-performance.
Katja Wünschel, CEO RWE Renewables Europe &Australia:
'Onshore windpower is a cost-effective way to expand renewable energy. We only implement projects that meet our high return requirements supported by state-of-the-art technology. This is where our partnership with ENERCON comes into play. The aimis to secure supply for a part of our project portfolio on known terms, thereby ensuring the reliable delivery of our growth program and planning certainty forour supply chain partner beyond project-by-project transactions. The MoU is a perfect fit with our existing contractual landscape and will strengthen and diversify our European supply chain further. I am very much looking forward to the projects we will jointly implement across Europe.'
Ulrich Schulze Südhoff, CCO ENERCON:
'Together with RWE, we are pleased to be able to make a long-term contribution to the expansion of onshore wind energy in Europe and thus to a climate-neutral,independent and economical energy supply. With our expanded product and service portfolio, we are capitalising on the opportunities of a changing energy market and offering our customers attractive added value for their projects. The partnership between RWE and ENERCON secures both our long-term plans and the market-driven further development of our products with the aim of successfully shaping the energy transition in Europe.'
As a pioneer of wind energy technology and a committed supporter of the energy transition, we have specialised in developing, producing, selling and servicing onshore wind turbines. Pursuing our mission of ‘Energy for the world’, we have been championing sustainable energy generation from onshore wind since 1984. Thanks to our innovative wind turbine technology, high quality standards and many years of experience, we are one of the industry’s leading manufacturers anywhere in the world.
Following the successful fulfilment of the 750 MW turbine delivery agreements in the first phase, the companies have taken another step towards completing the 1,000 MW project by signing a delivery agreement for the remaining 250 MW capacity.
As of 2026, top model will be available with 7.0 MW and tower of 175 metres
