Senvion erects Germany's 2,000th onshore wind turbine
Senvion has erected the 2,000th onshore wind turbine in Germany, on the Behrendorf wind farm in Schleswig-Holstein. The country's turbines are generating on average, over 2,565,000 KW per year, enough electricity to power over 2.5 million homes. Germany remains the largest producer of offshore and onshore wind energy in the world, with advances in﻿ turbine technology reflected in the total power generation output﻿ of each turbine.

Hamburg: Senvion, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of wind turbines, erected its 2,000th onshore wind turbine in Germany. The 2,000th turbine, a Senvion 3.4M114 NES, forms part of the Behrendorf wind farm in Schleswig-Holstein – 15 kilometres north-east of Husum. Together, the 2,000 turbines generate over 2,565,000 kW per year on average – enough power to supply all 2.5 million private households in the whole of Schleswig-Holstein, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Bremen with renewable energy.

The 2,000 turbines cover all of the models available since Senvion was founded across 14 German federal states. Andreas Nauen, CEO of Senvion, says: “For some time now, wind energy has no longer been restricted exclusively to nearshore areas. The progress in terms of technology is also reflected in the expansion figures: from Bavaria to Schleswig-Holstein, energy is being produced profitably using wind power. Schleswig-Holstein has always been a role model in this respect – on both a national and an international scale.” Senvion is the market leader in Schleswig-Holstein with 567 installed onshore wind turbines.
