Envision Energy Launches 16.7 MW EN-252 Offshore Turbine for High-Wind Sites
Hamburg – September 24, 2026 -- Envision Energy has launched the EN-252/16.7, a 16.7 MW offshore wind turbine engineered for high-wind sites, with the company projecting a 2-4% reduction in levelized cost of energy for gigawatt-scale wind farms.
Turbine cuts unit count by roughly 10% while lifting energy output
The EN-252/16.7 carries a swept-area-to-power ratio of approximately 2.99 square meters per kilowatt. For a gigawatt-scale offshore project, Envision states the turbine can generate 1-2% higher annual energy output while requiring around 10% fewer units than currently available turbines, translating into the estimated LCOE reduction depending on site conditions and project configuration. The design also allows uprating at suitable sites, offering further scope to cut turbine numbers and capital expenditure.
