Making old wind farms fit for the future

Your benefits with RWE

• Increased income

  If you just dismantle or remove your old wind turbines, it is not just your key contribution to the energy transformation that is lost but also the income you have been earning. On the other hand, if you modernise those aging wind farms, you can expect even greater gains than before. It is not uncommon to halve the number of turbines, double their output through more efficient use of the land and triple the energy yield.

• Quieter – so more acceptable

  New-generation wind turbines are much quieter and smoother than the previous models. As an added bonus, repowering gives you an opportunity to rectify any past planning flaws and ensure compliance with current legal requirements, like extending the distance between wind turbines and residential homes. All of this will increase the degree of public acceptance of your wind farm.

• A strong partner

  RWE is one of the world leaders in wind power and an experienced partner for repowering projects. We have already worked with the landowners of our own wind farms to make many of them fit for the future. We take responsibility for the whole process, from dismantling the old turbines through to completion of the new wind farm – as a full-service solution. In doing so, we assume all risks associated with the work. You need not worry about a thing. If you are looking for a trouble-free, risk-free way of upgrading your existing wind farm, and the idea of selling it to some unknown investors is completely unpalatable to you, we are the right people to talk to.
