Lindlar gets wind farm: 15,000 households benefit from green energy!

In Lindlar, a new wind farm is realized that could play an important role in regional development. The company ABO Energy recently submitted the application for the construction of this wind farm in the area of ​​the bird mountain. The Oberbergische Kreis approved this application and thus cleared the way for the first wind farm in the region.

The construction should begin this year, and the first steps are already being planned. Three state -of -the -art wind turbines are planned north of the Brochhagen district. Each of the systems is built with a hub height of 162 meters and a total height of almost 250 meters. This enables the wind farm to generate enough electricity for around 15,000 households, which would make a significant contribution to renewable energy use in the region.

approval and construction planning

The original application for approval was submitted in July 2023 and the approval was granted this week, which was faster than expected. The project manager Michael Lohmann from ABO Energy emphasized that construction will be announced in the near future. In the past, a start in the fourth quarter of 2023 and commissioning until the end of 2026, but the final construction start depends on the delivery of the required components.

The construction and planning committee informed about the approval in a meeting, which was led by Petric Newrzella. In addition, a meeting will take place to clarify usage contracts, access routes and fees. Furthermore, possible participations by the municipality should be discussed in the project in the committee for climate and environmental protection.

economic effects

The wind farm could not only increase local energy production, but also bring economic advantages for Lindlar. Property owners, whose areas are used for the wind farm, receive lease payments. The wind farm will also generate trade tax revenue for the municipality and income from contracts for the use of paths and cables. Municipalities within a radius of 2.5 kilometers also benefit from the municipal levy to EEG 2023.

ABO Energy has also ensured that local companies are preferred for expert reports, construction and surveying work. After completion of the wind farm, orders for maintenance and maintenance of the systems are continuously available, which could create additional jobs in the region.

ecological responsibility and civic engagement

Citizens' information about the wind farm is organized via special websites, information fairs and construction site tours. In addition, citizens can take part in the project financially through the near & Grün-Invest. The technical requirements for the construction of the wind turbines are strict in nature and require compliance with sound limit values ​​and the protection of nature and the environment. Effects on water quality and natural space are regulated by comprehensive requirements.

In addition, ABO Energy undertakes to implement compensation and replacement measures in order to compensate for ecological interventions. The company emphasizes that the construction of wind turbines is also in accordance with the existing regional plan. The wind farm should not only contribute to the energy transition, but also secure the quality of life in the region.

Overall, the wind farm in Lindlar seems to be a promising project that can cover the need for renewable energies and to provide economic impulses for the region. The time frame for the start of construction and commissioning is being pursued intently, since it will be decisive for the energy future of the Oberberg district.
