The wind farm, which was begun in 2010, consists of 30 wind turbines of the type Nordex N100 / 2500 , each having a rotor diameter of 100 meters and equipped with a rated output of 2.5 MW. The systems are the first series machines in the Gamma class to be delivered. The average wind speed at hub height is 7.4 m / s, the forecast annual electricity yield is 226 GWh , which roughly corresponds to the electricity consumption of 265,000 people.
