Repowering

Replacing older turbines with modern wind turbines is called repowering.

The yield of wind farms has increased large-scale since the 1990s. In 1995, the annual yield of a 500-kilowatt turbine lay at about one million kilowatt-hours.Today a two MW wind turbine with a double rotor diameter of approx. 80 meters achieves the fourfold to sixfold.

We currently realize a repowering project in Schneebergerhof (Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany) with one of the world’s most modern wind turbines. The Enercon E-126 generates up to 20 million kilowatt-hours. With a rotor diameter of 126 meters, it is bigger than the distance between two goals on a soccer field. 

To substitute older turbines with newer wind turbines in the same or neighbouring administrative district has become interesting for investors in Germany. With the amendment of the Renewable Energy Law (EEG) on January 1st 2009, operators of older wind farms can profit not only from the higher yield of new wind turbines, but also from the so-called repowering bonus (at the rate of 0.5 ct. / kWh) which the legislator has created in the EEG as an additional incentive.

Repowering also offers you an attractive financial alternative to further operating older turbines. Our repowering expert Ingo Sebastian can design an individual concept for you. 

Used Wind Energy Turbines for Sale

We offer used wind energy turbines for sale, omitting additional costs for mediation and commission, so that the wind turbine can be offered at a good price.
We offer turbines in different dimensions and from various manufacturers.
