Community wind farm Reußenköge describes a community wind farm project in the North Frisian community of the same name . It emerged from a total of six previous projects. Since the community area was classified as an excellent location for land-based wind energy use in Germany very early on, individual so-called pioneers invested in this technology for renewable energy generation from the mid-1980s . Up until 2006, wind power plants with a total nominal output of 135.15 MW were operated in this area in a total of five wind farms . These wind farms were supplemented by three systems from private operators. Today, these plants together have a nominal output of 4.8 MW. The total installed nominal output in the Reußenköge community was therefore 139.95 MW before 2011.
The planning for the establishment of the sixth company took place from the latter point in time. The federal treaty legislation changed by the Merkel III cabinet , however, changed the legal framework to such an extent that the majority of the local companies decided in 2014 to merge the individual companies.
history
The history of wind energy use in the Reußenköge community goes back to the 1980s. In 1983 the first farmer from the Cecilienkoog invested in a wind turbine, a V-15 from Vestas with a nominal output of 55 kW, thereby demonstrating a pioneering spirit. At the beginning of the 1990s, nine more wind turbines with rated outputs between 200 and 250 kW were built. These were built near the courtyard with the aim of temporarily supplying the farms with self-generated energy. Through the Electricity Feed Act , which came into force in 1991, investors received planning security. Now the community became active and drew up building plans to direct future development. The aim should be to over-plan the community area in such a way that further parks are possible and to prevent further individual systems. As many residents of the community as possible should have the opportunity to participate in the economic success.
The first two construction areas were designated along the second line of the dike of the Sönke-Nissen-Koog . A special permit was required for this. A zoning plan was not available. In the zoning plan drawn up later, the construction of wind turbines in rows was anchored as an urban planning concept. This had the advantage that further parks could be built later. The first expansion stage of wind farm I took place under company law within a so-called administration GmbH , in which 28 local individual investors came together and each built a wind turbine with a nominal output of 400 to 500 kW.
In the following years, further wind farm operating companies were founded. The plants built by these companies had a bandwidth between 600 and 1,650 kW. A repowering phase began in 2003 , during which many smaller turbines were replaced by fewer larger ones. The Reußenköge I wind farm was also renewed during this phase. The 28 old systems with a total nominal output of 12.4 MW were replaced by 17 larger ones with a total nominal output of 34.75 MW. To this end, the 28 shareholders founded a GmbH & Co. KG and operate the park together. In addition, nine first generation systems near the courtyard were converted into 2 MW and 2.75 MW systems and structurally integrated into the parks.
Characteristics
Reußenköge I wind farm
This wind farm today includes 17 turbines with a total nominal output of 34.75 MW. These are systems from Vestas, REpower (today: Senvion ) and NEG Micon . They were built in 2003 as part of repowering. The second repowering finally followed in 2017, when all the old systems except 1 Vestas V80 and 1 REPower MM82 were replaced by 15 Vestas V112s .
Reußenköge II wind farm
The Reußenköge II wind farm has a total of six turbines. The manufacturers of these systems are Vestas and Repower. Five plants were built in 2003, one in 2009. The plants are located in Sophien-Magdalenen-Koog and Reußenkoog .
Reußenköge III wind farm
The operating company owns a total of 18 plants with a total nominal output of 33.90 MW. The plants were built between 1999 and 2008. There are eleven V80 systems from Vestas . Of these, seven are in Desmerciereskoog , two in Sophien-Magdalenen-Koog and two in Louisenkoog . Six Vestas V66s were also installed in the latter. The largest system in terms of nominal output (2.75 MW) was built on the second dike line in Sönke-Nissen-Koog. This is a NEG Micon system of the type NM80.
Reußenköge IV wind farm
The Reußenköge IV wind farm consists of five plants that were built along the dike line between Desmerciereskoog and Cecilienkoog in the latter. These are four turbines from the manufacturer REpower of the type MM82 , which were built in 2004 and a Vestas V80 from 2008 (in the foreground on the picture).
In 2014 the 4 MM82s were finally dismantled and replaced by 3 Vestas V112s .
Reußenköge V wind farm
This wind farm, which was again designed as a community project, went into operation at the turn of the year 2009/2010. In the first expansion stage, 14 systems were built in autumn 2009. Another eight systems were added by January 2010. The manufacturer tender had previously been won by REpower Systems AG (today: Senvion SE ), which produced all systems. These have a nominal output of 2.0 MW each.
In order to be able to erect the facilities of the second construction phase, a contract was signed with the Luftsportverein Nordfriesland eV , which operates the former Bordelum airfield. In return, the association members received (joint) rights of use for a special landing pad for ultralight aircraft near Bredstedt located on the edge of the North Friesland industrial park . Since the club's own Cessna was not approved for this place, it was relocated to the Husum-Schwesing airfield .
The plant locations of the Reußenköge V wind farm extend over the following areas:
- Desmerciereskoog
- Sophien-Magdalenen-Koog
- Reußenkoog
In August 2014, in accordance with the Transformation Act , the wind farm was merged with the other wind farm companies within the Reußenköge community.

An expansion, initially carried out as an independent wind farm project within the Reußenköge, was planned from 2011. However, it should take some time before it was built. During the project planning phase, various political decisions influenced the project planning process. In 2012, for the first time, the municipal council said goodbye to the 100 m height limit for wind turbines in the Reußenköge municipality. This was preceded by a citizens' survey.
The merger of all six wind farms in the Reußenköge municipality in 2014 was also due to political decisions at the federal level. Among other things, they go back to the 2014 amendment to the Renewable Energy Sources Act .
If 2013 was originally planned for the construction of the plants, there were soon delays. The reasons for this were different evaluations with regard to flight routes of a sea eagle breeding in the Drelsdorf Forest and distance regulations to residential developments and to the dike of the Bredstedter Kooges .
After adapting the project planning documents, seven three-megawatt-class systems have been under construction since July 2014. The expansion of three locations in Reußenkoog and the northernmost one in Sophien-Magdalenen-Koog took place in July / August 2014. The necessary road construction to all plant locations was already started in 2013. The building permit documents were received in January 2014, so that the remuneration can still be paid under the conditions of the old EEG, provided that the commissioning falls in 2014.
In November, further expansion followed on both sides of Borsbüller Weg in Sophien-Magdalenen-Koog. Three turbines from the manufacturer Vestas of type V112-3.3 MW have been installed here. The final assembly of the last system took place on December 3, 2014.
power
The total output of the wind farms (including the individual systems) is 139.955 MW. Production corresponds to the average annual household electricity consumption of around 340,000 people.
