Prof. Edwin Kohl takes over the majority of TimberTower stocks

Impulsus Clean Technologies GmbH takes over the majority of TimberTower stocks. Entrepreneur Prof. Edwin Kohl claims: “wood enables higher towers, has a longer lifespan and makes us independent of steel prices. With the TimberTower we make sure that the power production costs in wind energy will decrease.”

TimberTower GmbH will erect the first multi megawatt wind turbine on a wooden tower worldwide in Hanover (Marienwerder). Vensys Energy AG as a manufacturer of gearless wind turbines supplies a 1.5 MW turbine that will be in use in spring 2012. After 4 years of work TimberTower finally took the last permission hurdles.

Now the product is on its way to serial production. Managing director Holger Giebel says: “Maybe in in 5 years already 1,000 wind turbines will produce power on a TimberTower.” The investment of Kohl Clean Technologies GmbH allows TimberTower to push product development further.
