Swedish customers order six wind turbines totalling 13.2 MW from eno energy

In recent months eno energy has signed contracts to supply six wind turbines for the Swedish market. All eno 100 wind turbines have a capacity of 2.2 MW, a rotor diameter of 100.5 metres and a steel tower with a height of 99 metres.

The six wind turbines, which are expected to generate a total electricity volume of about 40 GWh per year, are scheduled to be delivered during the fourth quarter of 2014 to three different locations in southern Sweden.

Four eno 100 wind turbines were ordered by various agricultural and forestry companies and shall be erected in the Tranås municipality in the province of Småland. Another wind turbine was ordered by Eldsberga Vind AB, which is a collective consisting of farmers, entrepreneurs and landowners, and shall be erected in the Halmstad municipality (Halland region). The sixth eno 100 wind turbine is being delivered on behalf of a group of shareholders to Sävsjö municipality, which is also in Småland.

“We faced strong competition from rival companies with most of the projects and we’re proud to have secured the orders,” emphasises the Managing Director of eno energy Sweden AB, Gert-Olof Holst. “The wind turbine is able to leverage its strengths perfectly in the Swedish inland locations, since it is designed to make maximum use of locations with weak winds and has already successfully proved its suitability at logistically challenging locations.”

Like all wind turbines from the eno company, the eno 100 successfully combines a full power converter with a multipolar, externally excited synchronous generator and self-developed control technology that also enables grid faults to be reliably ridden through in Sweden.

Ralf Hoch, eno's Country Manager for Sweden, is already negotiating expansions to the wind farms: “We can probably erect two more wind turbines at each of the two sites in Småland. In Tranås we expect the building permit by the end of summer. In Sävsjö talks are underway with potential customers for delivery in 2015.”

eno energy Sweden AB is a wholly owned subsidiary of eno energy GmbH and was founded in 2011 with headquarters in Vessigebro.
