15 turbines in Prottes
“Repowering”: a wind power turbo in record time
Twelve wind turbines have been turning at the Prottes-Ollersdorf wind farm for almost a decade. Now three new turbines have been added and opened to celebratory applause.
The project was completed in record time: Only a few days passed from the funding award to the start of construction. The fact that it was possible to open in such a short time shows how quickly such renewable energy projects can be implemented.
New (turning) power
This applies in particular to "repowering" - the replacement of old industrial wind turbines with new models - as well as the expansion of existing wind farms: in this case, hardly any public protests are to be expected, as is usually the case in "untouched" areas. "The last few years since 2015 have shown that wind power has become a completely normal part of community life here. The expansion makes us a little less dependent on fossil fuels," comments Mayor Karl Demmer from Prottes on the upgrade of the electricity generation site. Almost 44,000 households now benefit from the plants.
