Our Story

ENOVA has developed constantly throughout its 30-year history. It was a pioneer. Now it’s a leader. When Helmuth A. Brümmer founded ENOVA Energiesysteme GmbH & Co. KG in Leer, East Frisia, in 1989 he demonstrated one thing above all else: vision. Even then, he consistently focused on developing sustainable solutions and protecting the climate.

Around 20 projected offshore wind turbines made ENOVA a pioneer in Germany. Outstanding: RIFFGAT, a joint project with EWE, was the first commercial offshore wind farm to be completed in the North Sea. In 2014, 30 wind turbines were connected to the grid north-west of the island of Borkum.

Hauke Brümmer joined the group of companies in 2014 and its portfolio has been steadily expanded ever since. The result is a self-contained cycle covering every aspect of economical wind turbine operation.

First wind turbine repowering project
First wind turbine repowering project

A 400 kW turbine was replaced by a 2 MW turbine as part of a repowering project in the district of Leer. This increased the yield by a factor of seven.

2012
First wind farm repowering project

Ten old turbines at the Holtgaste wind farm were replaced by five new and more powerful ones in 2012. Despite being half as many, the more efficient E-101 turbines were able to almost quadruple the energy yield.
