Technical problems with wind turbines: Start for Hofoldinger Forest is postponed!
Aurich is the focus of the wind power industry: changes at Enercon, effects on the world of work and the upcoming start of operations.
Technical problems with wind turbines: Start for Hofoldinger Forest is postponed!
The planning hustle and bustle is currently in full swing in Sauerlach, Otterfing and Aying. On May 28th, the symbolic start button for the wind turbine in the Hofoldinger Forest was pressed. Mayor Barbara Bogner and her colleagues gave the official starting signal for the three wind turbines. But the joy only lasted for a short time. After just three days, the Sauerlach wind turbine had to be temporarily shut down due to technical problems, reports Mercury. Enercon technicians are now required to initiate the necessary changes and ensure stable regular operation.
Mayor Michael Falkenhahn is optimistic and believes that all three wind turbines can be put back into operation by July 1, 2025 at the latest. Getting there wasn't a walk in the park: the planning and implementation of the wind turbine took a good 13 years. But the efforts could pay off – not only for the environment, but also for the local economy.
The role of the wind power industry
The wind power industry has established itself as a central player in German energy production and is an important driver of the labor market. Current reports from deutsche-windindustrie.de show that the construction and operation of wind turbines creates numerous new jobs. The demand for skilled workers in this area is continuously growing, which leads to investments in training and qualifications.
The jobs created by wind power projects are diverse: engineers, technicians and many other professions benefit. Not only are the direct jobs in wind power important, suppliers and the service sector are also heavily influenced by these developments. Wind power not only offers career options, but also regional jobs in a variety of areas.
Challenges in the industry
The citizens of Aurich, where Enercon is influential, are expressing concerns about the developments. Mayor Horst Feddermann is nevertheless optimistic and sees opportunities for the region. “We have to emphasize the strengths of the region,” says Feddermann. Enercon's founding myth and the local identities associated with it remain strong, even if the future is uncertain.
Overall, it is clear that wind power plays a key role in the development of the region. It not only brings renewable energy, but also a variety of jobs. Long-term career prospects in the wind power industry could offer many people in the region a secure future if the challenges can be overcome.
