At 2.3MW, the E70 delivers serious generation capacity for commercial wind farms and large-scale projects.
All refurbished components come with a 2-year warranty. Full O&M packages available with 95% availability guarantee.
No gearbox means no gearbox failures. Lower maintenance. Less downtime.
ENERCON's patented storm control enables operation at extreme wind speeds without shutdown.
From 57m to 113m, the E70 can be configured for almost any site.
The ENERCON E70 is a 2.3MW direct-drive (gearbox-free) wind turbine that delivers serious power with the reliability ENERCON is known for. With rotor diameters of 71m and hub heights up to 113m, the E70 is suitable for a wide range of wind conditions and site requirements.
Key advantages:
No gearbox – fewer moving parts, lower maintenance
Direct-drive synchronous generator (2,000V)
ENERCON storm control – no shutdown at high wind speeds
Wind class IEC IA and IEC IIA
Hub heights from 57m to 113m
“The direct drive concept proved to be so reliable and superior that Aloys Wobben systematically adopted it. Since then, the direct drive has been part of the ENERCON DNA.”
