Award for ENERCON at GWEC anniversary celebrations

Award of the Global Wind Energy Council GWEC honors ENERCON's commitment to clean, safe and system-compatible energy solutions.

Recently, we joined global leaders in wind energy to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC). The event marked two decades of global collaboration, innovation, and impact in our industry.

The evening brought together key players from across the wind energy value chain—innovators, policymakers, and manufacturers—all united by a shared goal: to unlock energy abundance through wind power and drive a more resilient, electrified future.

We were honoured to receive the Segment Champion Award, recognising our commitment to delivering clean, secure, and system-ready energy solutions.

Minervino Cobas, Regional Head for Southern Europe & Latin America, nahm die Auszeichnung stellvertretend für ENERCON entgegen und erklärte:

‘For 20 years, GWEC has positioned wind energy as a response to global challenges. At ENERCON, we see it as a foundation for energy abundance, powering industries, strengthening communities and enabling a more resilient future. Over the years, we’ve contributed to GWEC’s mission by sharing technical expertise, supporting policy advocacy, and participating in strategic initiatives that promote wind energy as a cornerstone of sustainable development. Together, we’re helping shape a future where clean energy is not just possible—but plentiful, reliable, and accessible to all.'
