– Sufficient yield for the equivalent of around 30,000 households

– The portfolio of own parks increases to more than 310 MW

In June, the six wind turbines at Energiekontor’s Hanstedt-Wriedel wind farm were successively commissioned and supply produced electricity from the grid.

The Hanstedt-Wriedel wind farm was built on plots belonging to the municipalities of the same name in the district of Uelzen, in Lower Saxony. The wind farm consists of six General Electric turbines of the type GE 5.3 – 158 with a hub height of 121 m and a rotor diameter of 158 m.

With a total nominal power of 31.8 MW, the expected annual yield of the wind farm is approximately 73 million kilowatt-hours; this covers the electricity needs of around 30,000 average German households.

The Hanstedt-Wriedel wind farm remains in the Energiekontor portfolio and thus considerably strengthens the company’s production capacity, which thus increases to more than 300 MW of wind farms and an additional 10 MW of solar parks.

The CEO of Energiekontor AG, Peter Szabo, underlines the importance of this wind farm for Energiekontor: “The Hanstedt-Wriedel wind farm is one of the most powerful wind farms that we have built in the history of our company and is currently our own portfolio. For many years, we have pursued the strategy of taking around half of the completed projects into our own portfolio. While we have sold more projects than we have kept in recent years, our very well-developed portfolio of projects now allows us to take more parks into our own portfolio. We are very confident that we will achieve our goal of expanding our own generation capacity to over 500 MW by the end of 2023.
