REpower Systems
REpower Systems AG is one of the leading manufacturers of wind turbines for onshore and offshore applications. REpower defines itself as a technology company whose operations are characterized primarily by effective business results, sensitively to social issues and ecological responsibility. REpower – founded in 2001 and listed on the stock exchange just one year later – focuses on the development, production and installation of multi-megawatt wind turbines. The product portfolio comprises several types of turbines with rated outputs ranging between 2 and 6 megawatts. To date, the third-largest wind turbine producer in Germany can call on the production, projecting and construction experience gained for almost 2,000 turbine projects. REpower’s 1.5-megawatt MD 70/77 series, in particular, set new standards and became one of the most successful turbines in its class. The company’s 2-megawatt MM 70/82/92 series, launched in 2002 and now in production, has been similarly successful on the market.
The profitable and reliable turbines are designed at the REpower Centre of Development in Rendsburg and manufactured at the plants in Husum (North Frisia), Trampe (Brandenburg) and Bremerhaven. The REpower 5M turbine – currently one of the largest wind turbines in the world with a rated output of 5 megawatts and a rotor diameter of 126.5 metres – was the next logical step in the expansion of the company’s turbine portfolio in the multi-megawatt class. Construction of the prototype of this turbine, which is mainly deployed in offshore wind farms, was completed in autumn 2004 in Brunsbüttel, Schleswig-Holstein. The first 5-megawatt turbine was installed offshore in August 2006 as part of an EU demonstration project off the coast of Scotland. The REpower 5M went into series production in autumn 2008 at the new Bremerhaven site. In the future, its successor, the REpower 6M, will also be produced in Bremerhaven. The turbine house can be shipped across the globe directly from here.
However, no machine – or company, for that matter – is perfect on its own. Ultimately, it is people that determine success. That is why REpower’s top priority is the qualification and expertise of its employees, who now number over 1,600 around the world. One fifth of these are engineers. As a technology company, it is essential to deliver products and services which are aligned in an optimum fashion to the needs of our customers.
REpower is represented by sales partners, subsidiaries and associates in non-German European markets such as France, Great Britain, Italy, Portugal and Spain, but also around the world in the USA, Japan, China and Australia.
