Mannheim-based company MVV Energie has connected a 22MW wind farm to the grid in Germany.
The Olsberg-Antfeld wind farm (pictured) in Hochsauerlandkreis, North Rhine-Westphalia, will produce clean electricity for nearly 23,000 households.
MVV’s technical board member Hansjörg Roll said: “The Olsberg-Antfeld wind farm is already the 15th wind farm of MVV and our second in Hochsauerlandkreis, with which we are consistently advancing the energy transition.
“To do this, we are selectively taking over wind and solar parks from our in-house project development at Juwi GmbH into our own portfolio, thus ensuring a reliable supply of green electricity for our customers.”
The wind turbines at Olsberg-Antfeld were commissioned after a construction period that took just over a year.
The four General Electric (GE) 5.5-158 turbines have a hub height of 161 metres with an overall height of 240 metres. Each has a nominal output of around 5.5MW.
Meanwhile, MVV has been operating another wind farm approximately 8.5km away in Olsberg-Mannstein since September 2024.
This project consists of seven Vestas V-126 turbines, providing renewable energy for more than 25,000 households.
Both wind farms were developed by the 100% MVV subsidiary Juwi.
“With these projects, we have once again demonstrated our strong expertise in project development and implementation,” said Juwi chief executive Christian Arnold. “They also reflect our leading market position in North Rhine-Westphalia.”
As part of its ongoing commitment to the energy transition, MVV operates 15 wind farms in Germany with a total installed capacity of almost 200MW.
