Agreement on joint planning and implementation of onshore wind energy projects in Germany until 2030 signed at Husum Wind trade fair
ENERCON and renewable energy developer JUWI have entered into a partnership agreement for the development of wind energy projects in Germany. The agreement covers a substantial volume and has a term of three years. The contract was signed today at the Husum Wind trade fair (running until 19 September).
“We share a long-standing and strong partnership with JUWI, which we are now intensifying through this new agreement,” said ENERCON CCO Uli Schulze Südhoff at the signing ceremony. “We appreciate the trust, the constructive negotiations, and look forward to contributing together to Germany’s energy transition,” added Benjamin Seifert, Regional Head of ENERCON’s Central & Northern Europe (CNE) sales region.
“We are very pleased to continue our long-standing collaboration with one of the leading manufacturers of wind energy converters in a spirit of trust,” said Maximilian Nowak, Director of Corporate Supply Chain at JUWI GmbH. Since the JUWI Group was founded nearly 30 years ago, JUWI has installed over 500 ENERCON turbines in its projects worldwide, including more than 400 in Germany alone. “This new partnership agreement gives us momentum and planning certainty. It enables us to realise part of our extensive project pipeline in Germany, creating value here at home,” added JUWI Managing Director Christian Arnold.
The collaboration between JUWI and ENERCON dates back several decades. The first wind turbines were delivered by ENERCON to JUWI in 1996. The foundation for the new partnership agreement was laid last year through joint work on new wind farms: over the past 12 months, ENERCON and JUWI signed contracts for projects comprising 11 wind turbines with a total capacity of 61 MW across several wind farms in Germany, which are now entering the implementation phase. In parallel, the new partnership agreement was negotiated.
As a provider of integrated solutions for the connected Green Energy Ecosystem, ENERCON supports its customers in the realization of onshore wind energy projects. To fully unlock project potential, the company combines its high-performance, high-yield wind turbines with complementary solution components and services, enhancing customer benefits and the overall value of wind energy. The range of the solution portfolio, from which customers can select modules according to their requirements, extends from planning and installation to management and control, service and maintenance, and optimization of system performance during the operational phase.
As a pioneer in renewable energy with over 40 years of experience and a deep understanding of the demands of a changing energy system, ENERCON’s scope has always extended beyond mere wind turbines. With the mission ‘Energy for the World’, the company has been committed to sustainable energy generation from onshore wind since 1984. Thanks to its innovative turbine technology, high quality standards, and an installed total capacity of more than 65 gigawatts, ENERCON is among the world’s leading renewable energy companies.
With extensive expertise in the area of ‘holistic project development’, ‘connected operations’, and ‘smart optimization’, a dense service network, and a broad network of partners and service providers, ENERCON is a competent and reliable partner for its customers in all project phases. Headquartered in Aurich, Lower Saxony, the company employs around 13,000 people at administrative, sales, production, and service locations worldwide.
ENERCON will supply its customer Alterric with 13 units of the new E-175 EP5 E2 turbine type. The supply contract was signed this week at the Husum Wind trade fair. According to the agreement, ENERCON will install a total of 13 turbines of the new type at the Kutenholz wind farm (Germany) starting in spring 2026.
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.
