The Suzlon-owned company said the reductions were part of a reorganisation designed to make REpower “a leaner, more efficient and competitive company” that can meet the challenges of the market.

REpower CEO Andreas Nauen said: “The plans I am announcing will allow REpower to better meet today’s challenges and prepare for tomorrow’s opportunities, particularly in the offshore segment.

"Whilst the long-term outlook for the sector remains strong, the mid-term outlook is expected to remain uncertain and volatile, and we need to prepare for that.”
