EWT launches the DW61, It’s most efficient and high energy producing wind turbine

Today EWT, a leading supplier of distributed wind energy turbines, announces the launch of its most efficient and high energy producing wind turbine to date: the new 900kW EWT DW61.

The DIRECTWIND61 (DW61) builds on the advantages of EWT’s market leading DW54. The DW61 significantly increases kWh output through a larger rotor diameter, which is the result of the latest aero dynamical blade design and advanced control technologies.

The DW61 is designed for wind class IEC IIIA conditions and retains the tip heights of 77 and 100 meters, which have proven favourable to planning authorities. The DW61 is focused on meeting the global requirement for localised generation, both on-grid and off-grid. It represents a major step in high yielding wind turbines providing competitive cost of power versus local grid supply. Communities, industry, agriculture and other major customer groups all stand to benefit from utilizing the DW61.

Mark Jones, EWT CEO, “Localised generation is becoming the major driver of energy capacity growth. EWT’s focus, worldwide, is to provide the most competitive localised wind turbine solutions. That means continued product improvement to maximise the generation income and energy savings of our customers. The DW61 represents a true milestone in this goal.

We are excited to be working with our current and future customers on deployment of our new range worldwide. EWT will also continue to work with other technology suppliers to ensure the growth in micro grid and other off grid applications, where EWT has already proved so successful in supporting communities such as those in Alaska”.
