From five to three: We’ve just started repowering our onshore wind farm in Calle, Lower Saxony. The three new turbines will have a combined capacity of over 17 MW – almost twice as much as before. Dismantling of the old turbines is already underway, and the new ones are set to go into operation by the end of 2026. But repowering is only part of what makes this project truly sustainable. We’re reusing the concrete from the old foundations to build the access roads for the new wind farm. One of the existing towers will even find a new home in another project, while the remaining materials will be recycled appropriately. From orchards and hedgerows to woodland areas – we’re preserving all current ecological compensation zones and adding new biodiversity measures, such as flowering strips. All of this is bringing us closer to making renewable energy not only more powerful, but also more resource-efficient. ♻️
