- Siemens Gamesa will supply 13 turbines with outputs ranging from 3.6 MW to 4.1 MW, various rotor diameters and hub heights of up to 165 meters
- Close cooperation with project developer SL NaturEnergie and tower supplier Max Bögl Wind AG reduces project costs
- The order includes delivery, installation, connection and a service contract for 20 years
With a total output of 52.8 MW, the Coesfeld Letter Bruch wind farm is one of the largest wind energy projects currently being installed in North Rhine-Westphalia. Each year, the 13 wind turbines will save more than 53,000 tons of climate-damaging CO2 and produce enough green electricity to supply around 36,000 three-person households with climate-neutral electricity.
The wind farm Coesfeld Letter Bruch is operated by SL NaturEnergie together with Emergy as a joint venture of the public services of Coesfeld and Borken and the citizen run energy company Letter Wind. In this way, as much added value as possible from plant operation remains directly in the region and with the community.
“The wind farm is backed by broad support from citizens and the community. This has a model character also beyond the region. In Coesfeld, we relied from the outset on cooperation with municipal utilities and land owners. In addition, there is civic participation and support for social commitments through a civic foundation. It is important to us that as many people as possible who are involved in the transformation of energy systems and thus protect future generations also share in the associated value creation. Coesfeld will thus become a showcase for the German energy transition,” says Milan Nitzschke, member of the management board of SL NaturEnergie.
