Senvion, a global manufacturer of wind turbines, has hit the 2-GW mark of installed capacity in the UK. Senvion crosses this milestone with the installation of the first turbine at the Dunsland Cross Wind Farm, which is owned by an investment fund advised by Temporis Capital LLP.
Senvion now has more than 800 wind turbines in operation – from the former MD series to the current MM and 3.XM series, as well as 30 Senvion 5M offshore turbines at the Ormonde Wind Farm.
“This is the result of years of dedication and commitment by the Senvion team, and it also demonstrates the high level of repeat business and customer loyalty that we experience,” said Guy Madgwick, Managing Director of Senvion Northern Europe.
“Our innovative and flexible approach is a key strength in our business relationships and we are committed to building further on the successful partnerships we have developed,” he added.
Last year, Senvion installed a record number of turbines onshore and was also highlighted as the leading UK manufacturer by installation figures based on research by the annual Onshore Wind Project Intelligence Report published by RenewableUK in October 2016. The company celebrated the 1-GW mark in 2013, and since then has seen significant growth.
“Reaching two gigawatts of installed capacity and leading UK installation figures demonstrate how Senvion remains a key player in the UK wind market,” said Jürgen Geissinger, CEO at Senvion. “The collaborative, customer-focused approach we adopt ensures Senvion products remain competitive with the ideal solutions to optimize the range of wind conditions across the UK.”
