A CRMA end-use equipment term for the part of a wind turbine that converts rotor mechanical energy into electrical energy.
Wind energy generator is a CRMA end-use equipment term connected to strategic technologies and material demand. It identifies the generating part of an onshore or offshore wind turbine, not the whole wind project, not a renewable-energy certificate, and not proof that a specific critical raw material is present or recovered.
This page is anchored in CRMA Article 2, point 41. It is useful in the strategic-technologies graph because wind-energy equipment can connect product categories, components such as permanent magnets, and critical-material demand.
Regulation (EU) 2024/1252 establishing a framework for ensuring a secure and sustainable supply of critical raw materials

Use wind energy generator when mapping CRMA-relevant equipment that may create demand for strategic raw materials or permanent magnets. Keep it separate from project permitting, electricity generation evidence, product origin, and material-recovery proof.
End-use equipment terms help explain why material demand matters. Minespider treats wind energy generator as an equipment anchor: it can connect a strategic-technology use case to component and material evidence without claiming that every turbine part contains a specific material.
