The focus is on the discussion about wind power in Korb, while Mayor Müller explains current plans for Buocher Höhe.
Will the Buocher Höhe become the new wind power magnet for Korb?
In the municipality of Korb, the discussion about the expansion of wind turbines is being reignited. The outgoing mayor Jochen Müller discussed the opportunities and challenges associated with the use of wind power during a local council meeting. In particular, it is about the “Buocher Höhe” priority area, which has come into focus again. This initiative is part of the second disclosure of the regional plan, which was decided on April 2, 2025 by the regional assembly of the Stuttgart Region Association ZVW.
The lack of clarity regarding the city of Waiblingen's report has led to an extensive debate about the suitability of the area. Wind turbines near Winterbach, which have been in operation since 2017, are used as a positive example to support the progress of wind power in the Rems-Murr district. However, little progress has been made in this regard in recent years, highlighting the need to reassess land for wind turbines Stuttgart News supplemented.
Important decisions are pending
Next Wednesday, the regional councils will vote on the new areas for wind turbines in the regional plan. This could be crucial for the future use of the “Buocher Höhe” area, which was previously deleted from the plan. The current discussion shows the growing importance of renewable energies in the region and the desire for a more environmentally friendly energy supply.
The municipality of Korb is faced with the challenge of finding the right balance between environmental protection and the use of renewable energy. At the meeting, the outgoing Mayor Müller emphasized the relevance of transparent and comprehensive citizen participation in these decision-making processes.
Given the current energy policy situation, there is great pressure on municipalities to make faster progress in the use of wind power. It remains to be seen what decisions the regional councils will make and how they will affect local energy development. The discussion in Korb and the surrounding area is therefore not just a question of regional planning, but an important step towards a more sustainable future for the entire region.
