Enercon E-126

For some time, Enercon worked on the E-112 project - a turbine with a generator output of 2.25x the 2MW E-66, with it eventually being available for sale sometime in 2002.

[6] The first turbine of this model was installed in Emden, Germany in 2007, at Rysumer Nacken Wind Park.

[18] The pilot stage wind farm at Dragaliden was completed in 2010, generating 24 MW with 12 turbines.

[19] The Netherlands government gave its final approval on 6 January 2011 for the 'Windpark Noordoostpolder, part of which would consist of 38 Enercon E-126 7.58 MW wind turbines.

An ultimate case for the highest Court of state by opponents was closed on 8 February 2012, confirming the government decision.

[20] In France, a pending approval for the wind farm 'Le Mont des 4 Faux', consisting of an initial number of 52 Enercon E-126 7.58 MW wind turbines but in April 2012 reduced to a new variant of 47 turbines (deleting one 5-unit row in order to meet some ornithological concerns), is considered to be confirmed as such 47 turbines wind farm in 2012.

This E-126 wind farm is situated between Juniville and Machault, at the southern side of the French Ardennes, near Reims.
