The international project developer and operator is building five Enercon turbines with a total capacity of 21 megawatts (MW)
Teschendorf, 25 June 2024. The construction of a 21 MW wind farm has begun in Teschendorf, Lower Saxony. Energiequelle GmbH, which planned and developed the wind farm in the district of Gifhorn, is erecting five Enercon E-138 turbines with a hub height of 130 meters and a capacity of 4.2 MW each. Work is currently underway on the wind farm’s road construction, with the foundations to follow in January 2025. The turbines are expected to supply around 17,000 households with renewable electricity in the future. The estimated yield of the wind farm is 60,000,000 kWh per year.
The wind farm has a long planning period behind it, as the regional planning of the Greater Braunschweig Regional Association (RGB) took almost ten years, with the subsequent development plan process taking another two years. Only then were the regional planning and land-use planning requirements for the wind farm met in order to initiate the approval procedure for the wind farm. Energiequelle was then able to obtain approval within nine months.
Tina Hermerding, Project Manager at Energiequelle GmbH, is very happy about the successful start of construction: “Our patience and that of the community of owners has paid off. We are delighted that our project in Teschendorf is making an important contribution to achieving the targets set for the expansion of wind energy in Lower Saxony.”
The wind farm is scheduled to go into operation in October 2025. Energiequelle will also be responsible for the technical and commercial management.
