In spring 2014, the “Hungerberg” wind farm (ten Vestas V112 wind turbines with an output of 3 megawatts each and a transformer station) went online. It can generate around 80 million kilowatt hours annually, which arithmetically supplies around 23,000 households.
Before that, there were three wind farms with a total of 28 wind turbines on the Hungerberg. All 38 wind turbines together now have an output of 95 MW.
