Energiequelle GmbH erects in Germany nine Vestas turbines, which will supply around 40,000 households with green electricity in the future
Zeven/Germany, 30 April 2024. A few weeks ago, Energiequelle GmbH began with the construction of the Zeven wind farm in Germany, Lower Saxony. Nine V162 turbines from Vestas with a hub height of 169 meters and an output of six MW each will be erected. In future, they will supply around 40,000 households with renewable electricity. Work is currently underway on the access road and the crane site. The wind farm with a total capacity of 54 MW is scheduled to be fully operational in spring 2025.
The project had to overcome a few hurdles before construction could begin. For example, an objection was lodged by a third party after approval was granted, which led to the approval being amended by the district of Rotenburg. This delayed the start of construction by more than six months.
Robert Koddebusch, project manager at Energiequelle GmbH, is very happy about the successful start of construction: “After years of planning, we are delighted to be able to implement the project in Zeven. The region offers great potential and is of central importance for the energy transition in Lower Saxony.”
Energiequelle is planning further wind farms in the region and in Lower Saxony. Numerous additional wind turbines are also to be erected in the district of Rotenburg.
