RWE Renewables, the renewables developer unit of RWE, has started the commercial operation of the 28 MW Bedburg A 44n wind farm project located on recultivated land at the Garzweiler open-cast mine in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
The EUR30 million (US$30.20 million) wind project consists of five wind energy generators. Four of the new wind turbines feed their electricity into the public supply grid via the existing infrastructure of the open-cast mine. The fifth turbine will supply electricity to the modern resource protection settlement Bedburg-Kaster, which is currently under construction.
Part of the electricity from the fifth wind turbine supplies this settlement indirectly, sending a portion of its production to an energy storage system. The rest flows into the general supply grid.
