Wind turbine gearbox
Total output of 200 gigawatts achieved
With its Winergy product brand, Flender has reached the milestone of 200 GW of gearbox output for wind turbines delivered worldwide.
According to the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), around 743 gigawatts of wind turbine capacity will be in operation worldwide in 2021. This means that the proportion of turbines in which Winergy gearboxes are installed is almost 30 percent. This means that over 150 million households can be reliably supplied with electricity from renewable energies.
"We are proud to have reached the 200 GW mark. It reflects the great trust our customers have in our products. As a trusted partner at their side, we are working together with our customers towards a sustainable future. Electricity generation from renewable energies plays an important role in this," says Andreas Evertz, CEO of the Flender Group.
"Our global wind team is doing an outstanding job. We are doing everything we can to drive innovation in the development of gearboxes, generators and couplings in order to shape the future of energy generation together with our customers," says Aarnout Kant, President Wind Gears at Flender.
Flender has helped shape the wind energy industry since its beginnings. With its Winergy brand, the company has set many trends that are now standard for wind turbines. The milestone of 100 GW of delivered gearbox output was already exceeded in 2014. Thanks to the development of powerful and compact drivetrain systems, this mark has now been doubled just seven years later.
