Illwerke
VKW opened two new wind farms in Germany
Seven new plants with a total capacity of 31.5 megawatts were recently connected to the grid in Saarland and Brandenburg.
The construction of wind turbines in Vorarlberg is still a political issue, but the regional energy supplier is nevertheless investing heavily in the technology - just not in Vorarlberg, but in Germany. Two more turbines were recently put into operation. Illwerke now operates three wind farms.
The annual output of the plants in Völkersen (Lower Saxony), Wintersteinchen (Saarland) and Rapshagen (Brandenburg) can supply around 33,000 households with electricity. But that is not the end of the story: "We have set ourselves an ambitious target: We want to increase our wind and photovoltaic portfolio to one billion kilowatt hours by 2040," reports CEO Gerd Wegeler.
Search for possible locations in Vorarlberg
In addition to cooperations in Germany, the company is also looking at domestic terrain: Investigations into which sites in Vorarlberg could be considered for wind turbines have been underway since March, and the evaluation will take at least another year.
