Energiequelle commissions two French wind farms

Energiequelle, together with its French subsidiary P&T Technologie, has commissioned two wind farms in France. 

The first project, Park Villers-le Tourneur, was built in the Grand-Est region, close to the Belgian border. Five N-117 Nordex turbines, each with a hub height of 91 m and a total output of 15 MW, are expected to supply almost 10,000 households with electricity each year in the future. The project was acquired from the pipeline of the Leipzig-based project developer Green Energy 3000 GmbH, who supported the construction project until the end.

The second project, Park Broons/Biterne-Sud, is located in the department of Côtes d’Armor in north-east Brittany and received the final modification permit in February last year. The park consists of six Enercon E-92 turbines, which are equipped with precast concrete towers at two different hub heights. Four turbines have a hub height of 104 m, the other two are 98 m high. The reason for this is an overall height limitation on the part of air traffic control. The total output of the park is 14.1 MW and will be connected to the ENEDIS electricity grid via two transfer stations. After commissioning the first construction phase with two turbines in December 2020, the last four turbines are now in operation.
