- Project sale to Commerz Real - Output is sufficient for around 7,000 households
Energiekontor AG announces the sale of the Beckum wind farm. This wind farm is a repowering project with two wind turbines of 4.5 MWp each, a total of 9.0 MWp. The Beckum wind farm is currently being erected at the site of the same name in the Münsterland (NRW) and is currently scheduled to go into operation at the end of October. The buyer is Commerz Real, a subsidiary of Commerzbank AG, which is the asset manager for investments in real assets within the Commerzbank Group. Originally there were six wind turbines with a nominal output of 5.2 megawatts on the site near Beckum. These were dismantled in 2019 and will now be replaced by two much more powerful wind turbines, each with a rated output of 4.5 megawatts. Connection to the grid is planned by the end of October 2020. The expected annual electricity volume of 24 million kilowatt hours is sufficient to cover the needs of more than 7,000 average German households. Peter Szabo, Chairman of the Board of Energiekontor AG, is satisfied: "The sale process of the wind farm was conducted in a cooperative and professional manner. The sale makes a significant contribution to the result for the second half of the year".
"Repowering and the more efficient use of wind power sites will become increasingly important in the future in order to achieve climate targets," explains Jan-Peter Müller, Head of Infrastructure Investments at Commerz Real. "This will create attractive investment opportunities for us and our investors".
