EDPR wins auction for 219 MW German wind plot

EDPR has secured exclusive rights to develop a 219 MW wind project in Lower Saxony, Germany.

EDP secured the Uelzen-Suderburg site through a land auction conducted by Caeli Wind, a digital platform that pinpoints optimal locations for wind energy projects. The company has since entered into lease agreements with local landowners spanning roughly 2,700 hectares and aims to install up to 38 wind turbines. Once operational, the project is projected to produce over 475 GWh of clean electricity each year—sufficient to power about 150,000 homes and reduce carbon emissions by more than 330,000 tonnes annually.

EDP made its entry into the German market in 2022 through the acquisition of Kronos Solar EDPR. The company now considers Germany a key market for expansion, with ambitions to grow its presence in both solar and wind energy. On a global scale, EDP manages nearly 11 GW of installed wind capacity and has initiated hybrid projects that integrate wind, solar, and energy storage across Europe and the U.S.
