Billionaire Aloys Wobben, the founder of German wind turbine manufacturer ENERCON, has died aged 69 after a long illness. A joint statement from the Aloys Wobben Foundation and Enercon said: "The board of the Aloys Wobben Foundation and the Enercon management are sad to hear the news of the death of the founder and benefactor and express their deep sympathy." Founded in 1984, Enercon, headquartered in Aurich, Lower Saxony, had around a 12 per cent share of the European wind turbine manufacturing market in 2020. Wobben (pictured) had a net worth that was estimated to be approximately $7.9 billion. #windenergy #billionaire #windturbines #germany
