Energiekontor has reached financial close for the Beiersdorf-Freudenberg wind park project in Brandenburg.
The developer said the project won approval for construction in the Federal Network Agency’s February 2025 EEG tender with a total nominal capacity of around 17MW.
It added that three 5.7MW Nordex turbines will be erected at the site in the Markisch-Oderland district, with the wind farm scheduled to go into operation in 2027.
The hub height of the N149-5.7 machines is approximately 164 metres and the rotor diameter is 149 metres, with an expected annual yield of around 36GWh from the first full year of operation.
Energiekontor stated that the output will be enough to supply approximately 11,000 average households with renewable electricity and save more than 27,000 tonnes of CO2 per year.
Including this project, Energiekontor has achieved financial close for 13 wind and solar projects totalling around 343MW in the 2025 financial year, bringing the number of projects under construction to 20 with more than 628MW of capacity.
Chief executive Peter Szabo (pictured) said: “The financial close for the Beiersdorf-Freudenberg wind park project is an important milestone for us – and a clear signal that well-planned renewable energy projects remain economically viable even under challenging conditions.”
Szabo added: “With this step, we are making a further contribution to the expansion of renewable energies in Germany and underlining our expertise in the development and implementation of high-quality wind projects.”
