ENERCON exceeds 4 GW milestone in France
Installation milestone reached in ‘La Montagne II’ project in overseas territory of Guadeloupe.
ENERCON has passed the 4 gigawatt mark of installed power in France. This wind energy converter installation milestone was reached during the ‘La Montagne II’ project in Guadeloupe. ENERCON has installed 8 E-44/900 kW WECs for the project in the French overseas territory in the Caribbean. Peter Schuster, Director of ENERCON France, is delighted with the number of installations: ‘We are thrilled with this accomplishment and are proud of our team, who have all been involved in this success starting right back in 2003’.
France is currently the most important export market for ENERCON. The company has been active in the country since 2003, and has installed around 2,000 wind energy converters there since then. With more than 850 employees in the Sales, Project Management and Service divisions, ENERCON is now one of the biggest renewable energy companies in France. It has a market share of 25 percent (based on the installed power in 2018).
In the future, ENERCON will continue its involvement in France and will make a significant contribution to expanding renewable energies, confirms Peter Schuster: ‘For us, reaching 4 gigawatts is an important interim step on the way to implementing the energy transition in France. The country still offers considerable potential for onshore wind energy and has ambitious renewable energy targets, so we will not waver in our commitment there.’
ENERCON is installing the E-44 WECs which led to the achievement of the 4 gigawatt milestone in the course of a repowering project for the customer Quadran Groupe Direct Energie, subsidiary of Total. They replace 35 legacy WECs in the wind farm. Despite the reduction in the number of WECs by factor 4, the new wind turbines will enable a triplication of the wind farm capacity and the energy yield to be multiplied.

Vestas received two orders of 45 MW and 63 MW from Turkey in June
Vestas wins 63 MW order in Türkiye
Vestas has received a 63 MW order from Kangal Energy, Is Portföy Infrastructure VCIF and Is Portfoy Renewable Energy VCIF to extend the five existing wind parks of Kangal, Bereketli, Akyurt, Karaçayir, Konakpinar wind parks. They are all located in Sivas and Tokat, Türkiye.
The contract includes the supply and installation of a total of 12 V150-4.5 MW wind turbines and two V136-4.5 MW wind turbines, as well as a 10-year Active Output Management 4000 (AOM 4000) service agreement.
“I would like to thank Kangal Energy, Is Portföy Infrastructure VCIF and Is Portfoy Renewable energy VCIF for their trust in Vestas’ 4 MW platform. We are glad to see how the versatility of our portfolio continues to contribute to the expansion of wind energy in Türkiye”, says Head of Vestas Türkiye, Levent Ishak.”
Turbine delivery is scheduled for the first half of 2025, while commissioning is expected to take place in the second half of 2025.
Vestas installed Türkiye’s first wind turbine in 1984 and has since then delivered over 2 GW of wind capacity in the country.

Wind capacity additions fell by 15% in 2022
Wind capacity additions fell by 15% in 2022, following two years of record build, according to a new report by research company BloombergNEF (BNEF).
BNEF’s 2022 Global Wind Turbine Market Shares report finds that developers brought online 86 gigawatts (GW) of wind turbines globally in 2022, after growth in installations stalled in the world’s two largest markets, China and the US. The majority of new wind farms were added on land (89%), as commissioning of new offshore turbines fell to 9.1 gigawatts – down 46% compared with 2021.
“Alarm bells should be ringing,” said Cristian Dinca, wind analyst at BloombergNEF and lead author of the report. “Governments around the world are increasing their ambition on decarbonization and, at the same time, new additions are slowing on the ground.”
Goldwind edged out Vestas to the top spot in the global wind turbine supplier ranking. The company supplied 12.7GW of projects last year, almost 90% of which were for its home market. Denmark-based Vestas commis- sioned 12.3GW overall in 2022, 3GW ahead of its US-based rival GE, which was in third place. This meant that the top three spots were filled by companies from China, Europe and the US, respectively. Envision another manufacturer based in China finished fourth and Siemens Gamesa and Mingyang tied in fifth place. The figures draw on BNEF’s global database of wind projects and exten- sive information from the industry.
Offshore wind installations fell steeply in 2022, the year after China’s national feed in premium for projects at sea expired. The drop was partly offset by strong activity in the UK, that commissioned over 3GW of offshore wind for the first time. European turbine makers seized the opportunity, as Vestas secured first place in the offshore wind ranking ahead of Chinese manufacturer Shanghai Electric, while Mingyang took third place.
“We expect the drop in offshore wind to be short lived,” said Oliver Metcalfe, head of wind research at BloombergNEF. “Germany and the Netherlands will install major projects again in 2023, while the industry will also ramp up in newer markets like France and Taiwan.”
BNEF identified 49 gigawatts of new wind capacity added in China last year, meaning the country accounted for more than half of global wind additions. Six turbine manufacturers based in China made the top 10 in BNEF’s global ranking. While still the second largest market for new wind build, US additions fell by over 4 gigawatts in 2022.
“Uncertainty around extensions to tax incen- tives for wind projects has stunted the US wind industry for two years,” said Metcalfe. “That changed with the passing of the Inflation Reduction Act last year. We think the incentives in the IRA will help drive a cumulative 135GW of new wind capacity from now until 2030, proving the crucial role governments can and must play as they aim for net zero emissions.”
