bioconstruct GmbH has enlisted the Nordex Group for six N163/6.X turbines at the “Bösel-West” wind farm in Lower Saxony. The 40.8 MW wind farm will also receive Premium Service for 20 years. Installation in the joint municipality of Lüchow (Wendland) is set for autumn 2024, spanning Wustrow and Lüchow territories. Commissioning of the 6.8-MW turbines on hybrid towers, standing 164 meters tall, is anticipated in summer 2025.
Municipalities within a 2.5 km radius of “Bösel-West” benefit financially from wind farm electricity, receiving 0.2 cents per kWh. This amounts to a minimum of 150,000 euros annually for the municipalities, based on the projected 80,000 MWh output. Residents in Lüchow and Wustrow can participate through fixed-interest loans and share in the wind farm proceeds. Additionally, all involved landowners have the opportunity to be part of the wind farm.
“We are pleased that the two municipalities of Lüchow and Wustrow are giving their full support to our project so that together we can further develop the extension of renewable energy,” said Henrik Borgmeyer, Managing Director of
bioconstruct.
“We are very happy about this new project and the collaboration with bioconstruct,” added Felipe Villalon Waldburg-Zeil, Director Sales Region Central of the Nordex Group. “In order to take account of the concerns of locals with regard to shadow casting and sound as well as wide-ranging measures to protect animals in the form of switch-offs and reduced speed at night, from the very start of project planning bioconstruct decided to use turbines with large hub heights in order to compensate for losses in yield. The N163/6.X with a hub height of 164 metres is a tried and tested turbine,
known for its extreme efficiency and reliability, especially at medium wind speeds – such as prevail at the Bösel-West site, at seven metres a second.”
