Press Release
Voerde, June 2014
Gearboxes for 100 gigawatts of wind turbine capacity delivered
By June Winergy is the first company in the wind power industry that passed the
milestone of 100 gigawatts. Therefore almost one third of the global wind turbines run
with Winergy gearboxes.
By June 2014 Winergy reached the outstanding landmark of 100 gigawatts respectively
100.000 megawatts globally supplied wind gearboxes. The manufacturer for drive train
components is therefore the first company in the wind power industry that equipped this
amount of wind turbine capacity with its products. According to the Global Wind Energy
Council (GWEC) a capacity of 318 gigawatts was installed worldwide at the end of 2013.
Therefore the share of turbines with Winergy gearboxes adds up to nearly 30 percent. “It fills
us with pride to reach the 100 gigawatts. It proves the great trust in us and our products. This
is the only way to explain why we equipped 100.000 megawatts of wind turbine capacity
worldwide with our gearboxes way ahead of our competitors”, says Stefan Tenbrock, Chief
Executive Officer (CEO) of Winergy.
Besides the market leadership Winergy accomplished to become the technology leader for
wind gearboxes since the beginning of production 33 years ago. The company set many
trends that are standard for wind turbines nowadays. Belonging to an industry that developed
rapidly since the eighties, Winergy is one of the companies that influenced this development
significantly. Delivering 100 gigawatts now proves this important contribution.
