Six Enercon turbines with a total output of 14.1 MW to London investor
Broons/France, 17 January 2022. . Energiequelle GmbH sold the French wind farm Broons/Biterne-Sud. The wind farm was acquired by an entity managed by Octopus Renewables. The wind farm is located in the department of Côtes d’Armor in north-east Brittany and received the final modification permit in February 2019. The park consists of six Enercon E-92 turbines, which are equipped with precast concrete towers at two different hub heights. Four turbines have a hub height of 104 m, the other two are 98 m high. The reason for this is an overall height limitation on the part of air traffic control. The total output of the park is 14.1 MW and is connected to the ENEDIS electricity grid via two transfer stations.
Octopus Renewables is a specialist clean energy investor. Part of Octopus Energy’s generation arm, its mission is to accelerate the transition to a future powered by cheaper, greener energy. It manages assets with a capacity of over 3GW worth more than £3bn spanning seven countries across multiple technologies.
Julia Timm, who is responsible for the sales of our French projects, is proud of the successful completion of the project: “We are very pleased to have gained Octopus Renewables as a new investor and partner for what we hope will be a long-term cooperation.”
