The collapse in its German home market is increasingly forcing wind turbine manufacturer Enercon to expand abroad, the OEM’s managing director Hans-Dieter Kettwig said.

“We must find our markets internationally if you don’t sell anything in the German market,” Kettwig said at the opening of the Husum Wind event.

“We are really very worried. This is not just about jobs, but also about the know-how that has been built up in Germany during the past 30 years.”
