The Schneebergerhof wind park is a wind park near the hamlet of the same name in the local community of Gerbach in Rhineland-Palatinate . The wind farm also has a photovoltaic system .
history
On the initiative of Matthias Willenbacher 1996, the native of Schneebergerhof co-founder of the company was juwi , a wind power plant of the type Enercon E-40 situated in the vicinity of the parental farm. This system was soon followed by others. The first repowering took place in 2003 , when two of the Enercon E-40s were replaced by more powerful Enercon E-66 turbines . On December 20, 2003, a Vestas V80 wind turbine collapsed due to a material defect .
The Schneebergerhof wind farm became known nationwide as the location of the first wind power plant with a total nominal output of 6 MW in the German low mountain range, an Enercon E-126 . It was built in 2010 to replace an Enercon E-66 (nominal output: 1.5 MW). On December 30, 2013, a rotor blade broke off at this turbine and fell to the ground. The cause was several broken bolts on the rotor blade fastening. In May 2014 the system was put back into operation after repairs.
