Project developer VSB has received another approval for the construction of a wind farm in Hesse. Three wind turbines are planned in Ufhausen, a district of the market town of Eiterfeld in the Fulda district. Construction start for the wind farm with a total rated output of 21.6 megawatts (MW) is expected to be in autumn 2026.

The VSB Group, an internationally active developer and operator of renewable energy projects, will showcase its wide range of current photovoltaic projects, hybrid parks combining wind and PV, as well as battery storage and e-mobility solutions at the Intersolar Europe trade fair from May 7 to 9, 2025, in Munich.

Wind farm developer VSB is set to begin construction of two wind turbines with a total capacity of 11.2 megawatts (MW) this year in the northern Hessian municipality of Diemelsee. The turbines will be erected in the district of Wirmighausen and are scheduled to go into operation in 2027.

The repowering of the Elster wind farm, developed by the VSB Group, is entering its final phase: installation of the last of 16 new wind turbines is nearing completion. In parallel, the phased commissioning process is set to begin in the coming days. The first turbine, a Siemens Gamesa SG 6.6-155, will soon feed sustainably generated electricity into the grid operated by Mitteldeutsche Netzgesellschaft Strom mbH.

Wind farm developer VSB, with its regional office in Kassel, continues its success story in the Vogelsberg district. As the new operator of the Rülfenrod wind farm, which was commissioned in 2002, VSB is planning to repower the five existing turbines over the next four years. The company acquired the site from energy provider Statkraft.

We are pleased to announce that TotalEnergies has finalized the acquisition of VSB Group. Thanks to the combination of our two portfolios and our expertise, we are strengthening our position as a major player in renewable energies, with the ambition of reaching 100 TWh of net electricity production by 2030. The pursuit of this strong ambition will be carried out in compliance with the commitments made to our suppliers, partners, and electricity buyers.
