The operation of thousands of wind turbines is further restricted due to a disruption in the satellite connection. At the large German wind turbine manufacturer Enercon, 5,800 systems in Central Europe are affected, as the company announced. Enercon is working flat out on a solution. The remote monitoring and control of the systems with a total output of eleven gigawatts has only been possible to a limited extent since Thursday – that was the day of the Russian attack on Ukraine. However, the systems are in operation and producing energy. The Green European politician Niklas Nienaß linked the disruption to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. “An attack by Russian hackers on a satellite network that controls the systems could be to blame,” he said, without giving any further details.
