Approval received for 36 MW Onshore Wind Farm in Germany

VSB has received approval to build the 36 MW Pfaffenhausen wind farm in the municipality of Jossgrund, located in the Main-Kinzig district of Hesse, Germany.

Through close cooperation with the municipality of Jossgrund and private landowners, the Pfaffenhausen wind farm project progressed quickly, resulting in approval for five Vestas V172 turbines, each with a capacity of 7.2 MW. The wind project is expected to begin at the end of 2026. Once operational, the wind farm will generate enough green electricity each year to supply around 34,000 households.

After commissioning, the wind farm will provide the municipality of Jossgrund with a long-term source of regional value creation and additional funding for local initiatives. Under Section 6 of Germany’s Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG), VSB will provide the host municipality with 0.2 euro cents for every kilowatt-hour of wind power generated. The calculation also includes all municipalities whose territories lie within a 2.5-kilometer radius of the turbines. In this way, the wind farm will not only contribute to supplying tens of thousands of people with clean energy, but also support sustainable development and strengthen the region’s future prospects.

Construction of the five wind turbines is scheduled to begin at the end of 2026, subject to the project receiving a successful bid in the Federal Network Agency’s onshore wind energy tender.
