At 2MW or 2.3MW, the E82 delivers serious generation capacity for commercial wind farms.
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 78m to 138m, the E82 can be configured for almost any site.
The ENERCON E82 is a high-output direct-drive (gearbox-free) wind turbine available in both 2MW and 2.3MW configurations. With an 82m rotor diameter and swept area of over 5,200m², the E82 delivers serious generation capacity for commercial wind farms and large-scale repowering projects.
Key advantages:
No gearbox – fewer moving parts, lower maintenance
Direct-drive synchronous generator with air/water cooling
ENERCON storm control – no shutdown at high wind speeds
Wind class IEC IIA (also available for IA and IIIA)
Hub heights from 78m to 138m
Full power converter – grid-friendly operation
“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.”
