Focus on joint expansion of wind energy and sustainable tower technologies
The two companies Max Bögl and ENERCON will continue their collaboration in the future. The industry pioneers have now extended their partnership and signed a new framework agreement for their cooperation.
Continuing the partnership is a logical step based on their collaboration over the past years: “Our alliance is built on mutual trust, which has grown through reliable joint work over many years,” says Stefan Bögl, Chairman of the Board of Max Bögl Group. “On this solid foundation, we are now jointly developing our cooperation further.” The framework agreement establishes a new supply contract for Bögl’s hybrid towers, providing long-term planning security for both companies. Together, they aim to further advance the energy transition.
ENERCON CEO Udo Bauer explains: “The new framework agreement forms the basis for continued collaboration. For us, the partnership is another building block to meet growing demand. Together with our supplier partners, we ensure that we remain capable of delivering to our customers during this market upswing.”
In recent years, the wind industry has seen a steady increase in market demand for tall tower systems for wind turbines, to best meet the needs of new turbine generations. The German government's action plan published in May 2023 aims to accelerate the expansion of onshore wind energy in Germany, including by reducing approval barriers. “The new framework conditions are having an impact and are resulting in increased orders for our hybrid towers,” says Josef Knitl, Board Member of Max Bögl Wind AG.
ENERCON also offers tower variants with Max Bögl solutions for its new turbines. Bögl’s hybrid towers impress with hub heights of up to 200 meters, serial production, and cost-effectiveness. Additionally, the experienced hybrid tower manufacturer uses environmentally friendly concrete for the production of its precast components. This is also an important factor for ENERCON, which increasingly aims to offer its customers sustainable tower variants produced with reduced emissions - a double win for the energy transition.
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 optimisation 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 operation’, and ‘smart optimisation’, 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.
