Implementation of the projects with together 20 x E-175 EP5 will start in 2026.
For wind energy projects in Bad Berleburg and Erndtebrück in the Siegen-Wittgenstein district, the WestfalenWIND planning office has ordered 20 ENERCON E-175 EP5 wind energy turbines, each with anoutput of around 6 MW, and two transformer stations from the Aurich-based manufacturer. The projects are developed in close co-operation with the Wittgenstein-Berleburg Pension Chamber, which provides the land on site. Each turbine has a height of around 240 metres (including rotor blade) and supplies the annual electricity for 4,500 households. Together, the turbines will soon supply around 90,000 households with clean electricity directly from the region.
‘We are delighted that the contracts have been signed and are looking forward to the construction of the wind farms together with our partner ENERCON with great anticipation,’ says Florian Janzen, Prokurist WestfalenWIND.
‘Our entire team is truly happy that we have reached another milestone on our joint journey with our long-standing partner WestfalenWIND and we are very much looking forward to realising these projects,’ adds Benjamin Seifert, ENERCON Regional Head Central and Northern Europe.
Implementation of the projects will start inspring 2026. The E-175 EP5 is ENERCON's current top model. The turbine type has a rotor diameter of 175 metres and is one of the most powerful and highest-yielding onshore wind turbines on the European market.
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.
