Kallinchen (renewablepress) - The permits for two Energiequelle GmbH wind farms in Germany were granted in December. In Lüben in Lower Saxony and Minden in North Rhine-Westphalia, preparations are now beginning for the tendering and construction of the eight turbines. The wind farms have a total capacity of 38.4 MW and will contribute to a sustainable energy supply in the regions in future.


Repowering in Minden

In Minden, in the north-east of North Rhine-Westphalia, Energiequelle is planning to dismantle two Enercon and three NEG Micon turbines as part of a repowering project. Three Nordex N149 turbines with a total height of 200 meters will then be installed. The new wind turbines each have an output of 5.7 MW and will increase the efficiency of the wind farm by more than 500 percent compared to the old farm. Jan Schrobsdorff, Project Manager at Energiequelle, is delighted that the decision was received in good time before Christmas: “After a lengthy development planning process and high bureaucratic hurdles, we were eagerly awaiting the approval. This is an important milestone in the project.”


Lüben wind farm

The BImSchG approval for the Lüben wind farm (municipality of Wittingen, Lower Saxony) was submitted in March of last year. Five Enercon E-138 turbines with a hub height of 160 meters and an output of 4.26 MW each are to be erected here. Lüben is Energiequelle's second wind farm in the municipality of Wittingen within a year. “Regional planning took more than ten years and demanded a lot of patience from us. The entire team is therefore very happy about the permit that we have been holding in our hands since December 20th” says Tina Hermerding, project manager in Wittingen.

All necessary steps and registrations for both parks are to be completed by February in order to participate in the next tender. Construction work is scheduled to begin this year, with commissioning planned for 2026.

In total, Energiequelle has received approvals for 15 projects with a nominal capacity of 290 MW (wind) and 74 MWp (PV) in 2024.
