ENERCON, a leading manufacturer of onshore wind turbines, and RWE, one of the world’s top renewable energy companies, have entered into a long-term partnership to jointly develop onshore wind projects across Europe. The agreement was formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed at the WindEurope conference.
The multi-year collaboration will span several of RWE’s core European markets. Under the terms of the agreement, ENERCON will supply, install, and maintain wind turbines, aligning with RWE’s strategic approach of maintaining in-house operational performance.
Katja Wünschel, CEO RWE Renewables Europe & Australia said, “Onshore wind power is a cost-effective way to expand renewable energy. We only implement projects that meet our high return requirements supported by state-of-the-art technology. This is where our partnership with ENERCON comes into play. The aim is to secure supply for a part of our project portfolio on known terms, thereby ensuring the reliable delivery of our growth program and planning certainty for our supply chain partner beyond project-by-project transactions. The MoU is a perfect fit with our existing contractual landscape and will strengthen and diversify our European supply chain further. I am very much looking forward to the projects we will jointly implement across Europe.”
Ulrich Schulze Südhoff, CCO ENERCON added, “Together with RWE, we are pleased to be able to make a long-term contribution to the expansion of onshore wind energy in Europe and thus to a climate-neutral, independent and economical energy supply. With our expanded product and service portfolio, we are capitalising on the opportunities of a changing energy market and offering our customers attractive added value for their projects. The partnership between RWE and ENERCON secures both our long-term plans and the market-driven further development of our products with the aim of successfully shaping the energy transition in Europe.”
