Enova Value has secured approval to repower the Boldecker Land wind farm in Lower Saxony with 68MW of new capacity.
The company will replace ten Vestas V80 machines with ten Nordex N163 turbines across the municipalities of Barwedel and Jembke in Gifhorn district.
Once complete, the project will generate enough electricity to power about 43,000 households.
Enova acquired the existing site from a private equity fund in 2024 and is working with developer Altus on the repowering.
Construction is scheduled to start in the second quarter of 2026, with commissioning targeted for late 2027.
The approval under Germany’s Federal Immission Control Act was granted nine months after submission.
Fabian Tews, lead project management at Enova, said the milestone reflects “excellent cooperation – especially with our partner Altus, with whom we started repowering planning immediately after purchasing the wind farm, and the municipalities”.
The company recently connected the nearby 15.3MW Jembke wind farm to the grid, a project acquired turnkey from BayWa r.e.
Enova Value has also achieved financial close for the 36MW repowering of the Neuferchau wind farm in Saxony-Anhalt.
The site in Altmarkkreis Salzwedel currently hosts eight NEG Micon 1000 machines dating from 2001.
They will be replaced by five Vestas V172 turbines, which will produce almost five times more electricity than the existing fleet.
The project received approval under the Federal Immission Control Act in March 2025 and later secured a 20-year feed-in tariff in the July EEG tender.
Christian Priegnitz, senior corporate finance manager at ENOVA, said financial close “created the decisive basis for implementing repowering in Neuferchau – and thus offering the region a sustainable energy perspective for the coming decades”.
Construction is scheduled to start in early 2026 with commissioning planned for summer 2027.
Enova operates 900MW of wind capacity and aims to invest more than €2bn in new projects by the end of 2027.
