Nordkirchen wind project
ENERTRAG is planning to erect three wind turbines on the outskirts of the municipality of Nordkirchen, on Münsterstrasse at Meinhövels Holz/Piekenbrock and to the west of the district of Capelle at Gorbach (Altendorf).
ENERTRAG began developing the wind farm at the start of 2018. The project has progressed very well with the recruitment of local project partners, the informal involvement of local politicians and the completion of numerous studies and expert reports in preparation for the permit application. With the receipt of the first permit at the end of last year and the expected receipt of the other two permits this year, this website has now been launched to provide ongoing public information on the progress of the project.
The three planned wind turbines will produce more than 35,000 MWh of clean electricity per year. The municipality of Nordkirchen currently has around 10,600 inhabitants and 180 businesses. On balance, every household could be supplied with locally generated, sustainable energy and 2/3 of the electricity generated would be available for trade and industry. This would result in annual savings of around 30,000 tons of CO2 compared to electricity generated from fossil fuels.
ENERTRAG is thus acting for a clean and secure future for the benefit of the people in the country and future generations on the basis of 100% renewable energies.
