After 12 years, the CNE sales team secures its first major order for 7 x E-160 EP5 with a total capacity of over 38 MW.
ENERCON had been in negotiations since 2023 and the contract has now been signed and sealed: Together with the customer Smart Power Generation Alfa S.R.L., ENERCON is realizing the first wind farm project in Romania in 12 years as part of the PNRR EU financing program. 7 x E-160 EP5 E2 will be installed on 120-meter-high modular steel towers (MST) in Cudalbi Galaţi in eastern Romania. The wind farm has a total capacity of 38 MW and marks a milestone in Romania's sustainable energy supply.
Now, as onshore wind re-gains momentum in the country, ENERCON is ready to support with reliable and state-of-the-art wind turbine technology as well as a wide range of additional financing services and technical solutions enabling customers and developers to optimise their business case and drive energy transition. ENERCON offers suitable solutions for established companies in the renewable energy sector as well as for new and local companies. We are ideally positioned to meet the specific requirements of Romanian customers with tailored solutions.
"This project underlines our endeavour to sustainably support the energy transition in Romania. With our turbine portfolio, our good references in the EPC sector and excellent service, we offer the right solutions for established companies in the renewable energy sector as well as for new and local project developers.

What has characterised ENERCON Service since the very beginning?
ENERCON achieved the technological breakthrough in the 1990s with the legendary E-40/500 kW. The gearless drive concept introduced for the first time with this wind turbine type still characterises ENERCON wind energy converters to this day. It also forms the basis for the new top-of-the-range model E-175 EP5 that ENERCON is currently rolling out in series production.
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.
