Repowering of wind farms in Germany: a solution for more efficient energy production

The Lesse wind farm will have seven N149/5.X turbines and one N133/4800 machine, while the Barbecke wind farm will have three N149/5.X turbines. These projects are repowering initiatives that involve replacing 17 older turbine models with more powerful machines. This will double the previous production of the wind farms from 30.6 MW to 61.8 MW while using fewer turbines.

According to Felipe Villalon Waldburg-Zeil, Sales Director for the Nordex Group’s Central Region, “In the case of repowering, less is more. Thanks to modern and efficient turbine technology, the electricity produced by older wind farms can be significantly increased using fewer turbines. Repowering projects will become increasingly important in Germany in the future, as nearly 6,000 older turbines have been in operation for more than 20 years.

Nordex onshore turbines: efficient and sustainable products for wind energy

The Nordex Group is a leading supplier of wind turbines, with installations in more than 40 markets and a product portfolio focused on onshore turbines from 4 to 6.X MW.
