New wind farm near Hemmingen: Four turbines for green electricity!
A wind farm with four wind turbines is being built north of Hemmingen. Project developer Uhl Windkraft plans to give the owners a fair share.
New wind farm near Hemmingen: Four turbines for green electricity!
The plans for a new wind farm north of Hemmingen in Baden-Württemberg are very concrete. The project developer Uhl Windkraft from Ellwangen is expected to build four wind turbines in this area. The region, classified as LB-08 in the regional plan, includes the municipalities of Hemmingen, Eberdingen, Schwieberdingen and Markgröningen. These initiatives are part of a larger effort to promote renewable energy in the area, which emphasizes collaboration between project developers and local owners. The owners of agricultural land have come together in an area leasing model to ensure fair and transparent participation, such as Uhl wind power reported.
The plans envisage a reduction in the area of the priority area from almost 145 to a good 100 hectares, with the adjustments mainly affecting areas in the direction of Schwieberdingen. Philip Gohl, the project manager, said that the second disclosure of the regional plan provides important security for planners. The core area of the wind farm, which is considered the most promising area, remains unaffected by these changes. This will be done as part of the ongoing development of the regional plan, which already enjoyed political support.
Nature conservation and approval processes
To ensure that nature is protected, comprehensive conservation studies are required. According to information from BMUV These investigations were largely completed in November 2023. An important milestone in this process is the lecture conference, which is planned for mid-December 2023 in the Ludwigsburg district office. Information should be obtained from specialist departments and external public bodies.
The approval documents are currently being prepared and the corresponding expert reports are being drawn up. These documents should be submitted by mid-2025. A further step in the preparation of the project is the 12-month wind measurement using lidar technology, which is carried out by an accredited wind expert. This measurement will be completed in February 2025, although the evaluation of the data will take some time.
The project in Hemmingen is part of a broader strategy for the use of renewable energy in the region, which not only meets local needs but also contributes to Germany's overarching climate goals. The wind farm could serve as an example of sustainable cooperation between agriculture and renewable energies.
