Max Bögl Wind AG and its hybrid towers are setting new benchmarks in electricity generation and regularly write success stories for the energy transition: The wind turbine towers from the Bavarian family-owned company are wellknown in the industry for their high hub heights. They are therefore shining examples of an efficient and climatefriendly electricity generation, because the hybrid towers reach heights that cannot be attained with normal steel towers – and that is worthwhile. With every metre of hub height that a wind turbine gains, its annual electricity yield increases by 0.5 to 1 percent. Less wind turbulence and a significantly higher wind yield speak for high hub heights, especially in less windy inland locations. So that not only national and European wind farm operators benefit from the high heights of the hybrid towers, however, Max Bögl Wind AG has developed the mobile factory. This manufacturing plant makes it possible to produce hybrid towers virtually anywhere in the world. The first project has now been successfully completed in Thailand. Some of the highest wind turbine towers in Asia were built there, with a hub height of 156.5 metres. The company is now even among the top 3 nominees for the bauma Innovation Award 2019 in the category Construction Method with this manufacturing concept, which is unique in the world.
