Thomas Cobet, Enercon’s chief financial officer and a member of the turbine maker’s management team, is resigning from his position with immediate effect and will be leaving the company.
Over the past several months Cobet (pictured) has “successfully monitored and supported the negotiations on completion of refinancing” in relation to Enercon’s turnaround, the company said in a statement.
Martin Prillmann will manage the financial division temporarily.
Prillmann has been a member of the Enercon management team since January 2020 and is responsible for the restructuring of the German company.
Heiko Janssen, chairman of the board of Enercon’s investor Aloys Wobben, said: “The restructuring has visibly gained momentum.
“We must now focus on further implementation steps, especially for the cost-of-energy optimisation project that is about the competitiveness of the Enercon wind energy converters.
“We are not going to ease up on this. We are glad that Mr Prillmann will be assuming the additional function of temporary chief financial officer and will be placing the focus on this cost issue that has become fundamental to us.”
