WindEnergy Hamburg 2020

At the entrance, visitors were greeted by the avatars of our experts. During the booth opening hours from 1 to 4 December 2020, a team of more than 40 colleagues from different areas of the company took it in turns to answer visitors’ questions via chat and e-mail, phone and video call. It was also possible to set up meetings using the booth’s integrated calendar function.

Each day of the trade fair saw an exclusive programme of webinars and expert conversations live from interesting offshore markets such as North America and Taiwan. Visitors were thus able to gain interesting insights into wind energy and the future of the industry. All questions concerning onshore, offshore, direct marketing and maintenance were also addressed interactively. We’ve now brought together the topics that were discussed with links to further information.

When it comes to onshore wind energy, we have been concentrating so far on high-yield sites across the whole of Germany, where we currently operate wind turbines with a capacity of around 500 megawatts. To supplement our core market of Germany, we are now expanding our onshore wind energy activities internationally via our subsidiaries VALECO in France and EnBW Sverige AB in Sweden. We aim to increase the installed output in Germany and selected foreign markets to around 2,500 megawatts by 2025. To achieve this and push forward the Energiewende, we are successively developing new sites to generate renewable energies – always in dialogue with the local communities and their inhabitants. While we continue to search for other suitable sites, we are also focussing on existing wind farms that are coming towards the end of their operating lives: we provide a wide range of services from continued operation through to dismantling and repowering.

EnBW Baltic 1 – Germany’s first commercial offshore wind farm in the Baltic Sea – made us one of the pioneers of wind power at sea. Taken together with EnBW Baltic 2, we have installed a total output of 330 megawatts in the Baltic Sea. In the North Sea, the joint project EnBW Hohe See and EnBW Albatros supplies a further 609 megawatts of clean electricity. And construction of our third North Sea wind farm, EnBW He Dreiht, is scheduled to start in 2023. In the international arena, EnBW holds shares in Formosa 3, one of the largest offshore projects in the world, and is working with colleagues in Hamburg and at EnBW Asia Pacific in Taipei to develop the project. The regional company EnBW North America was established to continue expanding the EnBW offshore project portfolio in North America. Working with partners such as aerodyn, EnBW is also investing in the Nezzy² research project to develop a floating offshore wind power plant. You can access further information about our offshore wind farms.

EnBW can look back on decades of experience in the wind energy industry. Wind turbines are subject to differing degrees of very varied stresses and strains. That is why a comprehensive range of services – regular maintenance, servicing and repair – is essential to ensuring safe operation in the long term. Round-the-clock remote monitoring can be a critical factor in quickly identifying faults and avoiding unexpected outages. Our subsidiary Connected Wind Services is our strong partner that enables us to offer a full spectrum of expertise in delivering services. As an independent international service partner, Connected Wind Services currently supports more than 1,700 wind power plants and can handle even complex service projects.
