Econcern was ranked No. 234 in Europe’s top 500 listing of high growth, job-creating companies in 2007[2] and was named ‘Business of the Year’ at the CMS European Business Awards in 2008.[3]
Bankruptcy
In May 2009 Econcern filed for Dutch Chapter 11 for suspension of payments, the first step towards bankruptcy, after it failed to agree on refinancing terms on a €150 million corporate loan which matured on 1 April 2009. An administrator was appointed by a Dutch court to work with the board to try to identify new financing solutions.[4] At stake were assets under development, such as the Belwind and Gode Wind I offshore wind farms, as well as operational assets, such as Q7. The company went bankrupt in Q3 2009.
