Tailwind for Lower Saxony in the District of Rotenburg (Wümme)

Onshore wind farm Sandbostel-Bevern

Impetus for Lower Saxony: RWE is constructing a further onshore wind farm. In the rural district of Rotenburg (Wümme), on the south-western edge of the Hamburg metropolitan region, a total of four wind turbines are being constructed with a total capacity of 22.8 megawatts (MW). The special feature here is that three of the turbines, with a total capacity of 17.1 MW, belong to RWE. RWE is constructing a further identical turbine with a nominal capacity of 5.7 MW on behalf of local community energy company OsteWind GmbH & Co. KG., which will operate this turbine independently. Once they are completed, the four wind turbines will generate enough green electricity to provide a climate-friendly supply to more than 13,000 households.

Wind farm experience from RWE

This new wind farm in the northern part of Lower Saxony not only provides further confirmation of RWE’s aim to implement every renewables project that’s possible in Germany; it also shows that the energy transition can be successfully driven forward by working with local partners in particular.

“By expanding onshore wind facilities, we are helping to shape the energy transition in Germany. Every wind farm and every solar module counts on the path towards achieving our ambitious climate targets. We see strong potential for growth in this market with a strong regional character. To tap into this potential in the regions, we are entering into partnerships with local authorities or citizens’ cooperatives and continuing to build our strong team.”
