Volkswind gets planning permissions in three countries

Ganderkesee - For Volkswind, the year has started with several successful project results in three markets. On the back of the continued operation of established projects in Germany and France Volkswind has managed to secure permissions in three further markets.

In Montana, USA, the company developed a 20MW wind farm project with power purchase agreement and grid connection within only three years. The timely execution of the site inside 2011 has enabled the project to be eligible for the ‘Cash-Grant’ promotion (which was scheduled to close in Jan 2012). The project was sold in its entirety to the turbine manufacturer Goldwind, who expects to build the site in 2012.

In the Polish market Volkswind developed the first ready-to-build project. Situated in central Poland with an output of 24MW, the project has reached a grid connection contract and all necessary permissions and is ready to build in 2012.

A further success has been celebrated in the UK where Volkswind obtained its first building permit in December 2011 for 12.5MW wind farm in the Northamptonshire region. This wind farm has the potential to provide the energy equivalent of up to 7.000 households.

The first repowering projects were realised in the German counties Goslar and Wolfenbüttel. Together with a 2.5 times height increase and a rotor doubled in length, the output of the Immenrode Wind Farm has considerably increased. The two Enercon E40’s had an output of 500kW and were replaced by two Vestas V90 and one Vestas V112, meaning that the energy output has been multiplied by a factor of seven.
