Contract for 2 WEA NORDEX N 163/5.7 wind turbines




Green Wind Energy has won a contract for feed-in remuneration from the German Federal Network Agency in the latest request for proposal for onshore wind turbines. Two Nordex N163/5.7 wind turbines are now being constructed in Beiersdorf-Freudenberg in the Märkisch-Oderland administrative district. These turbines have a capacity of 5,700 kW each, and will supply approx. 6,800 households with green power in the future. For Green Wind, these are the first systems by the manufacturer Nordex and the first wind turbines of this size. They have a hub height of 164 m. As a mitigating measure, Green Wind will reforest four hectares of mixed deciduous woodland.

Approval marathon

From securing the site to obtaining approval, Green Wind’s Project Development department has been working for six years on this project, for which Pascal Peters is responsible. “Drawn-out bureaucratic processes in the approval marathon don’t exactly make our job any easier,” said Franziska Göbel, Head of Project Development at Green Wind Energy. “So we’re particularly happy that we have now received approval and a contract for the project.”

Municipalities stand to benefit

The surrounding municipalities also stand to benefit: they receive a payment of EUR 10,000 per newly constructed wind turbine under the Brandenburg Wind Turbine Duty Act, as well as a voluntary financial contribution geared towards the amount of power generated. As a result, a further sum of around EUR 30,000 per constructed wind turbine is being paid to the municipalities.

“In the municipality of Freudenberg and in lots of other projects, we are constantly working to make a contribution to the energy transition and break the dependence on fossil and nuclear energy sources. We willingly embrace challenges. However, despite sound policy approaches, we are currently being held back by often unclear, frequently changing conditions.”

Further projects

At present, these also include the difficult situation caused by interrupted supply chains and rising costs for raw materials and financing. For instance, construction of the turbines will not start until 2023, rather than immediately as Green Wind had hoped. Even so, there is enough time to obtain two further approvals at the Freudenberg wind farm by then.
