Enercon has signed a 440MW framework agreement with an undisclosed customer to supply turbines in the Canadian market.
The deal covers the OEM’s E-175 EP5 E2 turbines with first deployment expected to start in 2027.
More than 60 machines will be supplied to “multiple” onshore wind projects in Canada.
They will be equipped with a cold climate package and blade heating system, and will fully comply with all Canadian certification requirements, Enercon said.
The framework agreement is “an important milestone” for the international rollout of Enercon’s flagship 7MW turbine model, the German OEM said.
It added the E-175 EP5 E2 is a cornerstone of its market strategy and forms the foundation of the company’s current portfolio.
“This framework agreement shows the E-175 EP5 E2 is the optimal fit for the Canadian market,” said Enercon chief executive Udo Bauer.
“Canada is a key strategic market for Enercon. With the E-175 EP5 E2, we are bringing our most advanced turbine platform to a country where we have built long-standing partnerships and deep operational experience over the past 25 years.
“We are fully committed to Canada’s clean energy transition and looking forward to this new partnership and further business opportunities.”
