Wind Power Meets Hydrogen: Enertrag Launches Innovative Mattheshöhe Wind Farm

Dauerthal, Germany – With its focus on innovation, Enertrag continues to drive the transformation of the energy system. Its latest expansion in northern Brandenburg’s Uckermark region exemplifies the successful integration of renewable electricity generation and future technologies – and demonstrates how climate-friendly energy supply can be implemented locally.

With the inauguration of the Mattheshöhe Wind Farm last week, Enertrag is sending a strong signal for a sustainable energy future in the Uckermark. Six new wind turbines expand the existing hybrid power plant and underline the region’s strategic role as a pioneer of the energy transition.

Wind Power Meets Hydrogen: New Wind Farm Strengthens the Energy System of the Future

The Uckermark remains a key region in Enertrag’s portfolio. With the ceremonial commissioning of the Mattheshöhe Wind Farm last Friday, the company has expanded its generation capacity with six high-performance wind turbines. The Enercon E138 models, each with a rated capacity of 4.26 MW and a total height of 229 meters, are among the most efficient in their class. Together, they will supply thousands of households with green electricity — directly integrated into the Uckermark hybrid power plant, where wind, solar, storage technologies, and green hydrogen are connected.

“The commissioning of the six wind turbines in the Mattheshöhe project symbolises what sets the Uckermark region apart: pioneering spirit, reliability and future potential. Together with our combined power plant, we are making a strong contribution to a secure energy supply and the energy transition throughout Germany,” said Tom Lange, Head of Wind & PV Development Germany at Enertrag.

The successful implementation of this large-scale project is the result of years of collaboration with local stakeholders. “The Mattheshöhe Wind Farm demonstrates how positive and long-term cooperation between Enertrag, the Amt Gramzow, and the municipality of Uckerfelde works. We are very proud to have successfully realized such a major and long-term project,” added Marc Transfeld, Regional Manager for North Brandenburg.

Technology Up Close: Hydrogen Production with Mobile PtX Trailer and Wind Turbine Tours

The inauguration event offered visitors exciting and insightful glimpses into the energy technology of tomorrow. On-site, Enertrag showcased a mobile PtX trailer demonstrating how wind power can be converted into green hydrogen. Another highlight was the opportunity to tour one of the new wind turbines. In small groups, guests were able to explore the inner workings of the tower and experience the impressive dimensions of the facility up close. The event was powered by green electricity generated directly from the new “K2” wind turbine.

Background Facts on the Uckermark Hybrid Power Plant

Enertrag’s Uckermark hybrid power plant is a pioneering project for climate-neutral, secure energy supply. Spread across roughly 40 km², it intelligently integrates wind energy, photovoltaics, battery storage, heat utilization, and green hydrogen. With 622 MW of installed wind capacity and 24 MW of solar capacity, the plant produces green electricity. Power is collected through local grids, transferred via substations within the plant’s area to a central substation, and primarily fed into the transmission grid. When the systems produce more energy than needed by the power sector, it can be stored—either in the Cremzow battery storage facility (22 MW), as green hydrogen via a 560 kW electrolyzer in Wittenhof, or in the 2 MW wind-heat storage system in Nechlin. The hybrid power plant thus fulfills central system functions—and shows how the energy transition can already be implemented today in a decentralized, efficient, and practical way.
