Equipped with a generator with a rated power of 500 kW, the turbine meets all technical requirements for the current, highly profitable feed-in tariff of 19.7 pence/kWh offered in the region.
The company also claims that the turbine's rotor diameter of 56 metres produces significantly higher energy yields than comparable products from other wind turbine manufacturers. “Thanks to low noise emissions due to comparatively low speeds, the turbine is also suitable for sites near residential areas,” it says.
With more than 130 turbines of the type PowerWind 56 sold worldwide, PowerWind GmbH is now one of the most important providers of modern sub-MW wind turbines in Europe and the US.
The German manufacturer specialises in meeting the needs of community wind customers. Besides high-quality technology products, this specific customer group is particularly interested in individual customer support, comprehensive availability, planning advice and financial advice as well as tailored service solutions. Customers of PowerWind include local project developers, medium-sized businesses, farms, schools, universities and recreational facilities.
PowerWind GmbH is a German manufacturer, founded in 2007 and financed by the international investor Warburg Pincus. The company is represented in Germany at two locations, Hamburg and Bremerhaven. The 900 kW PowerWind 56 wind turbine has been in series production since January 2008 at the state-of-the-art factory in Bremerhaven.
