Germany's EnBW mulls 200 MW of wind power addition

Posted by January 29, 2017

German energy utility EnBW plans this year to install 64 new wind turbines across 16 sites with a total generating capacity of more than 200 megawatts (MW), having doubled its wind power capacity in 2016, a top executive said in a newspaper interview due to be published on Saturday.

Following are details from the interview with EnBW's head of generation portfolio development, Dirk Guesewell, due to be published in southwestern German newspaper "Heilbronner Stimme".

* EnBW commissioned 200 MW of wind power capacity in 2016 and acquired four wind parks with 55 MW of capacity, he said.

* Its total wind power generating capacity now amounts to 450 MW.

* Two thirds of the new capacity this year will be installed in Baden Wuerttemberg, EnBW's home state, while the other turbines will be in four other states.
