In December 2015, Saxony's first community wind turbine was put into operation in the municipality of Wülknitz. The cooperatively operated 3-megawatt system fed 883,000 kWh into the power grid in the first month of operation. The construction costs of around 5 million euros were raised by a specially founded energy cooperative with the help of a short-term bank loan and subordinated loans that the citizens involved granted by purchasing shares in the wind turbine.
