By the way. What do you make of the market share stats on page 6 of the German 2009 stats? That jump of Enercon to 60% primarily at the expense of Vestas.

Amazing that Enercon can capture such a huge portion of a mature market.  Likely based upon performance and reputation, as well as an exceptional O&M infrastructure.  Unbelievable (actually, quite believable) that this technology is banned from the US because of patent infringement, when Enercon wrote the book on that technology as the first variable speed turbine.

i suspect in the coming years REpower will grow some, GE will really begin to capture market share with their new 2.5MW machine, Nordex should increase, and if Fuhrländer can increase production and marketing of the W2E turbine, they could cut into Enercon.  But it will be tough, and I wouldn't be surprised if GE focuses elsewhere.
