Senvion S.A. (called REpower Systems SE until 2014) was a German wind turbine manufacturer founded in 2001 in Germany, majority owned by a private equity firm.

Senvion as REpower Systems, as it was initially called, was established in 2001 through the merger of German wind companies: HSW (Husumer Schiffswerft), the engineering consultancy Pro+Pro (a subsidery of Denker&Wulf and aerodyn Energiesysteme GmbH), the wind turbine manufacturer BWU and Jacobs Energie; and since April 2015 Centerbridge Partners.{{cite web|url= https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-01-22/suzlon-agrees-to-sell-senvion-to-centerbridge-for-1-2-billion |date=22 Jan 2015|title=Suzlon to Sell German Unit to Centerbridge for $1.2 Billion|author=Alexander, George Smith|publisher=Bloomberg.com|access-date=2015-06-20}}{{cite news| url=http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/How_Suzlon_swung_the_REpower_deal/RssArticleShow/articleshow/2075263.cms | work=The Times Of India | title=How Suzlon swung the REpower deal! | date=2007-05-26}}{{cite news| url=http://uk.reuters.com/article/oilRpt/idUKPAC00866020070916 | archive-url=https://archive.today/20120719130245/http://uk.reuters.com/article/oilRpt/idUKPAC00866020070916 | url-status=dead | archive-date=19 July 2012 | work=Reuters | title=Areva takes 51% in German wind plant firm -source | date=2007-09-16}}{{cite web|last=Beckett |first=Paul |url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052748703514404574587753147027832 |title=Suzlon Aims for Full Control of REpower - WSJ |publisher=Online.wsj.com |date=2009-12-10 |access-date=2015-06-20}} It was under the ownership of Suzlon, an India wind turbine manufacturer, from 2007 to 2015.
