European Energy has purchased a wind farm outside Berlin from SEF, a Danish utilities company.
This acquisition includes the transfer of land rights and essential permits necessary for the construction and generation of renewable energy at Niemegk wind farm (pictured).
European Energy plans to reposer the 30MW site io9in Germany by upgrading the wind turbines to enhance the project’s generation capacity to 64.8MW.
Johannes Thon, vice president for project development in Germany at European Energy said: “We recognise the untapped potential of the Niemegk wind farm.
“Our initiative to repower the facility is a testament to our commitment to reinforcing Germany’s renewable energy infrastructure to address the growing energy needs sustainably.”
Niemegk with its 15 existing wind turbines each having a capacity of 2MW is an ideal place to have repowering done by installing new wind turbines.
Modern day onshore wind turbines typically have a capacity of up to 7.2MW each.
