ENCAVIS acquires wind farms from ENERTRAG in Bonnhagen and Roitzsch
SDAX-listed wind and solar park operator Encavis AG (Prime Standard, ISIN: DE0006095003, stock exchange symbol: ECV) has acquired two wind parks under construction in Bonnhagen (Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania) and Roitzsch (Saxony-Anhalt) from ENERTRAG SE, which is also responsible for their construction and operation.
The Bonnhagen wind park (24 MW) is located 30 kilometres west of Wismar and has been under construction since July 2024. Grid connection is planned for September 2025. The Roitzsch wind farm (12 MW) is located 40 kilometres northwest of Leipzig and has been under construction since April 2024. Here, connection to the grid is expected as early as March 2025. The purchase of electricity from both wind farms is secured by an EEG feed-in tariff with a term of 20 years.
‘Following the recent acquisition of the wind parks Dannhausen (Sowitec) and Everswinkel (UKA), the wind parks Bonnhagen and Roitzsch are now being added. Our wind park portfolio in Germany is continuously growing and now totals around 364 MW,’ says Mario Schirru, CIO/COO of Encavis AG.
Dr Gunar Hering, CEO of ENERTRAG, says: ‘In Encavis, we have found an experienced partner for the Bonnhagen and Roitzsch wind projects that shares our vision of a sustainable and secure energy supply. Encavis’ long-term orientation and operational experience perfectly complement ENERTRAG's values and goals, enabling us to jointly advance the energy transition.’
In Bonnhagen, the four Vestas V162 wind turbines each have a generation capacity of 6 MW, which will generate a total of around 77 gigawatt hours (GWh) of electricity per year once completed.
Two Vestas V150 wind turbines, each with a 6 MW generating capacity, will be used in Roitzsch. Once completed, the wind farm will supply a total of around 34 gigawatt hours (GWh) of electricity annually.
