2020 Success Stories

About 2020

The collapse of the German wind onshore market in 2018 and 2019 was the starting point for a fundamental turnaround at ENERCON. The company is currently reorganizing at lightning speed, realigning its organizational structure and adopting a new strategic direction. ENERCON is focusing more than ever on international markets and on its core business. Despite the unfavourable circumstances in 2020, ENERCON managed to secure refinancing with its banks and shareholder in the midst of the crisis. The reorganization is also bearing fruit when it comes to new wind energy converters: new models consistently developed with the cost of energy in mind now form the heart of the portfolio. Despite the difficult conditions brought about by the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, installation was successfully conducted and the testing phase commenced on three prototypes from the EP3 and EP5 platforms. ENERCON has been able to manage the impact of the pandemic well to date and will do everything in its power to make sure it stays that way.
