REpower: Inauguration of first SDLWindV-certificate wind farm

Hamburg, Germany - REpower Systems AG has launched a wind farm project in the district of Dithmarschen (Schleswig-Holstein) with Repowering Kronprinzenkoog GbR.

In one of the biggest repowering projects in the region, 29 aging turbines have been replaced by 15 high-performance multi-megawatt turbines from the MM series. This has almost trebled the total output of the Kronprinzenkoog wind farm. In addition, the project is the first REpower wind farm to receive a system certificate in line with the German System Service Ordinance (SDLWindV). Since the beginning of June, four REpower MM92 turbines (hub height 80 meters) and eleven REpower MM82 turbines (hub height 59 meters) have been erected and commissioned at the Kronprinzenkoog wind farm. Each of these 15 turbines has a rated output of 2.05 MW.
