The official groundbreaking ceremony for the Elster Repowering wind farm took place today in the presence of Professor Armin Willingmann, Minister for Science, Energy, Climate Protection and the Environment of Saxony-Anhalt. Project developer VSB has thus realised one of the largest repowering projects in Europe: 50 outdated wind turbines will be replaced by 16 modern, more efficient ones.

Project developer VSB is starting preparations for the construction of the Vockenrod wind farm on the territory of the municipality of Antrifttal in the Vogelsberg district of central Hesse. The project comprises three Nordex N149-5.X wind turbines with a total rated output of 17.1 megawatts (MW).

VSB, an international project developer with six locations in Germany, welcomes the Wind Summit announced by Robert Habeck, Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection. The aim of the summit on 22 March is to accelerate the expansion of onshore wind energy in Germany.

VSB Service GmbH, a company of the internationally active VSB Group, currently manages wind energy, solar plants, and substations with a capacity of about 1.4 GW. With the use of Turbit's artificial intelligence for the wind energy business unit, VSB Service GmbH is taking the next step after almost 2.5 years of testing to produce green energy even more efficiently.

The VSB Group, a pan-European project developer for wind and solar farms headquartered in Dresden, Germany, announces that the Elster Repowering wind farm has received permit.

At the Elster wind farm in Saxony-Anhalt, 50 old onshore wind turbines are being replaced by 16 modern SG 6.6-155. VSB relies on innovative task sharing between hybrid tower manufacturer Max Bögl Wind AG and Siemens Gamesa.
