The Indeland wind farm or Indeland wind farm (the operator's own name: indeland wind farm Eschweiler ) is located in the northern urban area of Eschweiler in North Rhine-Westphalia . It consists of 13 wind turbines from the manufacturer Senvion and was built in the course of 2017 on the recultivated site of the former Zukunft opencast mine .
location
The wind farm consists of two spatially separate areas on the northern city limits of Eschweiler in the Aachen city region . Alsdorf borders the area to the west with the district of Warden , and to the north the municipality of Aldenhoven . The closest districts of Eschweiler are Hehlrath , Dürwiß and Fronhoven . Between the wind farm and the Dürwiß district lies the Blausteinsee , an artificial lake created by flooding the remaining open pit.
In the western wind farm area there is a seamless transition to the site of the Aldenhoven wind farm in Aldenhovener area with five Vestas turbines from 2014. To the northwest of this area there is also a single turbine near Weiler Langweiler .
history
The wind farm was realized as a joint project of several companies. To operate the wind farm, indeland Windpark Eschweiler GmbH was founded, in which Innogy SE (a subsidiary of RWE until September 2019 ) holds 51%, EWV Energie- und Wasserversorgung from Stolberg with 29% and RurEnergie GmbH from Düren with 20% are. The total investment was around 62 million euros. BMR energy solutions GmbH from Geilenkirchen was also involved in the project development and has also planned numerous other wind farms in the area. Other supporters of the project were RWE Power and the development company indeland GmbH (EwiG) .
The first cut of the spade for the wind farm was set on January 17, 2017 in the western section (area "Eschweiler Nord"). In preparation for the construction of the foundations, the soil had to be compacted at all locations, as the site consists of heaped overburden from open-cast lignite mining. First of all, the four systems were built in the Eschweiler Nord area, which went into operation in the second quarter of 2017.
In the eastern part of the wind farm (area "Nördlich Fronhoven") 12 wind turbines were originally planned - the entire park would have consisted of 16 wind turbines. Due to the proximity to the residential development, only 9 of these 12 plants could be realized, which is why the building permit was only granted shortly before Christmas 2016. In addition, four of the systems have a lower hub height of 123 m instead of the 143 m provided for all systems in order not to impair flight operations at the Geilenkirchen NATO airfield . The new systems north of Fronhoven went into operation in autumn 2017.
Investments
The type of turbine used in the Indeland wind farm is the Senvion 3.2M114 model from the German manufacturer Senvion . All turbines have a nominal output of 3.2 MW with a rotor diameter of 113 k, which means that the total output of the wind farm is 41.6 MW. Nine systems have a hub height of 143 m, four a lower one of 123 m. The total height of the systems is 200 m or 180 m.
