ENCAVIS acquires two wind farms already under construction with a total capacity of 36 MW from Enertrag SE and continues to systematically expand its wind farm portfolio in Germany
Hamburg, 20 December 2024 – The wind and solar park operator Encavis AG has acquired two wind farms under construction in Bonnhagen (Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania) and Roitzsch (Saxony-Anhalt) from ENERTRAG SE. ENERTRAG is also responsible for the construction and operational management of the wind farms.
The Bonnhagen wind farm (24 MW) is located 30 kilometers west of Wismar and has been under construction since July 2024. Grid connection is planned for September 2025. The Roitzsch wind farm (12 MW) is located 40 kilometers northwest of Leipzig and has been under construction since April 2024. It is expected to be connected to the grid as early as March 2025.
‘Following the recently acquired Dannhausen (Sowitec) and Everswinkel (UKA) wind farms, we are now adding Bonnhagen and Roitzsch. Our wind farm portfolio in Germany is growing continuously, now totaling around 376 MW,’ says Mario Schirru, CIO/COO of Encavis AG.
Dr. Gunar Hering, CEO of ENERTRAG, says: ‘In Encavis, we have found an experienced partner for the Bonnhagen and Roitzsch wind projects who shares our vision of a sustainable and secure energy supply. Encavis' long-term focus and operating experience perfectly complement ENERTRAG's values and goals in order to jointly drive forward the energy transition.’
The purchase of electricity from both wind farms is secured by an EEG feed-in tariff with a term of 20 years.
Details on Bonnhagen: The four Vestas V162 wind turbines, each with a generation capacity of 6 MW will generate a total of around 77 gigawatt hours (GWh) of electricity per year after completion.
Details on Roitzsch: Two Vestas V150 wind turbines, each with a generation capacity of 6 MW. Once completed, the wind farm will supply a total of around 34 gigawatt hours (GWh) of electricity per year.
