Enercon E-126 wind turbine.

The Enercon E-126 is the largest turbine model build to date, manufactured by the German wind turbine producer Enercon. With a hub height of 135 m (443 ft), rotor diameter of 126 m (413 ft) and a total height of 198 m (650 ft), this large model can generate up to 7 Megawatts of power per turbine. The nameplate capacity was changed from 6 MW to 7 MW after technical revisions were performed in 2009. Enercon now aims to further increase this capacity to 7.5 MW, according to the Enercon Magazine.

The weight of the foundation of the turbine tower is about 2,500 t, the tower itself 2,800 t, the machine housing 128 t, the generator 220 t, the rotor (including the blade) 364 t. The total weight is about 6,000 t.

The first turbine of this model was installed in Emden, Germany in 2007. A total of 24 turbines of this model were erected as of October 2010, 13 in Germany and 11 in Belgium. The biggest wind farm using this model of turbines has been constructed in Estinnes, Belgium.

Wind farm Estinnes Belgium 10 October 2010, after completion.

The world's largest wind farm, the Markbygden Wind Farm, with 1,101 turbines covering 500 km² to generate 4000MW is under construction in northern Sweden and will contain approximately 150 Enercon E-126 7.5MW wind turbines.
