Statkraft plans to develop Oedelsheim wind project in Bramwald

Statkraft is planning to develop and construct its first own wind farm in Germany. Up to six wind turbines with a total capacity of 36 megawatts are to be installed in the Wesertal valley in northern Hesse by 2025.

The concession agreement for the use of the approximately 67-hectare forest area in Bramwald in northern Hesse was concluded with the state of Hesse on January 1, 2021. Statkraft already started wind measurements at the beginning of April, which are planned for at least twelve months. The first results of the species protection surveys are expected to be available at the end of this year and then presented next year. Commissioning of the Oedelsheim wind farm is planned for 2025. The turbines are then expected to supply around 20,000 households with wind power each year and save around 54,000 tons of CO2.
