Repowering

In the course of repowering, Energiequelle replaces older plants with state-of-the-art systems, thus ensuring sustainable and consistently optimal use of the land areas.

The development of plant engineering has made rapid progress in recent years. The graph below illustrates this in an impressive way. Whereas 25 years ago wind turbines were built at a total height of 100 m, modern wind turbines can reach total heights of more than 200 m. As a result of this increase, the installed and generated power has also grown considerably. This means that, today, significantly more electricity is generated with fewer plants on the same area.

The advantages of the new generation of plants can also be seen in the landscape. Larger rotors turn much more slowly. Newer wind turbines are built at a greater distance from the nearest residential development – a great benefit for communities and residents.

Above all, it simply makes economic sense to replace existing wind energy converters with recent models.
