The Sintfeld , a plateau between Bad Wünnenberg and Meerhof in North Rhine-Westphalia , is the location of one of the largest contiguous areas in Europe that is used for energy generation by wind turbines . Since the first individual turbines were built in the 1990s, several large wind farms with a total of more than 150 wind turbines have been built. The wind farm is in close proximity to the Asseln wind farm .
Location and description of the location
The wind farms are located mostly in the district of Paderborn in Detmold , a smaller part is located in the Hochsauerlandkreis in the district Arnsberg . The Bundesautobahn 44 runs right through the connected Eilerberg / Meerhof / Elisenhof wind farm area . The Sintfeld plateau is located on the western edge of the Egge Mountains and is part of the Paderborn plateau . As it is one of the first foothills of the low mountain range to stop the wind coming from the north, it is ideally suited for the use of wind energy.
history
construction
The windy plateaus around Paderborn have been used as a wind power location since the early 1990s. The first systems on the Sintfeld were built in 1995 in Meerhof and on the Eilerberg. They had a nominal output of 500 to 600 kW. The wind farms have been continuously supplemented with additional systems; since 2015, more and more older systems have been dismantled and replaced with more powerful ones ( repowering ).
The total investment for the entire project was around DM 200 million , which was largely borne by investors from the region in order to increase the acceptance of the wind farm in the affected region through a high level of public participation.
According to the operator, the Sintfeld wind area is the largest wind area in inland Europe. The electricity is fed into the public power grid via a specially built substation in Meerhof, which is the largest privately built substation in Germany .
When building the wind farm, the so-called "leasing and participation model" was used, which means that everyone with a wind turbine on their land is paid a site fee of 4,000 - 5,000 euros per year as compensation for the unusable area becomes. If an access road to the wind turbine had to be created, the owner of the piece of land will also receive compensation for this. In addition, the landowners receive a share of the profit from the sale of the electricity generated , as this is not used directly by the farmers but is sold by the manufacturing companies. In the case of revenue sharing, 5% of the total profit is divided according to the share of the respective landowner in the total area.
In particular due to the Meerhof wind farm, which was built in 2001 with 26 new plants, the number of wind power plants grew steadily. In 2014 there were 119 wind turbines in seven wind farms on the Sintfeld.
business
The operating companies of the first four wind farms ( Meerhof , Eilerberg , Elisenhof , Wohlbedacht ) are combined under the umbrella of Sintfeld Rego Strom GmbH . The repowered systems on the Eilerberg are operated by Alme Windkraft Verwaltungs GmbH . The operator of the Haaren-Leiberg wind farm is Westfalen WIND GmbH .
Energy Foundation
In 2013, a non-profit foundation was established that supports projects in Bad Wünnenberg and the surrounding area from part of the wind yield. The Energy Foundation promotes Sintfeld by issuing weed -Saatmischungen to farmers investing at field margins .

Eilerberg

The Eilerberg wind farm was built along the 44 federal motorway south of Helmern. Comprehensive repowering measures have been taking place since 2015. There are currently 40 systems in the park with a total output of 94.16 MW.

Meerhof
The first systems in Meerhof were built in 1995. By 2002, a considerable expansion took place. The first repowering took place in 2016, so that today there are a total of 43 wind turbines with a total output of 75.2 MW. Another repowering will take place in 2020 with wind turbines of the types Nordex N149 / 4500 , Enercon E-126 EP3 E2 and Enercon E-138 EP3 E2

Heaven
In the Himmelreich wind farm in the Essentho area , 16 new turbines from Enercon were originally to be built in 2016. Due to a construction stop ordered by the Arnsberg Administrative Court during the construction phase, only two systems could be put into operation, some other systems have only been set up halfway to date. If the wind farm had been fully constructed, a coherent wind farm area would be created from the Eilerberg via the Elisenhof and Meerhof parks to Wohlbedacht.
