Planning area and status of the procedure
The Kassow wind project is located in the municipality of Kassow (district of Rostock) south of the village of Kassow and north of Groß Schwiesow. The project area is bordered by the village of Oettelin to the west and Goldewin to the east and is crossed by two high-voltage power lines.
The project area is suitable for the erection of wind turbines according to the standard state criteria of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and is therefore designated as a suitable area in the draft for the partial update of the energy chapter of the Rostock regional spatial development program with the area number 55/58 "Mistorf". In December 2019 and June 2020, the Rostock Region Planning Association decided on the update of the regional spatial development program and assumes that the update of the spatial development program will become binding at the end of 2020.
The area is also very suitable for the planned project, taking into account several other aspects. These include
Good wind conditions for efficient wind energy use
Visual integration into an existing wind farm
Structural pre-determination by existing railroad and power lines
Proximity to existing power lines for the grid connection
Direct grid feed-in point due to existing ENERTRAG substation
Proximity to the city of Rostock and the Nordex company for measurement and maintenance work as well as short distances during delivery and construction of the wind turbines
Suitable location with regard to noise and shadow impact emissions.
An application for approval in accordance with Section 4 BImSchG was submitted for the project in spring 2019. As part of the approval procedure, all documents will be put on public display to give residents, associations and authorities the opportunity to find out about the plans and make comments.
