RWE puts Evendorf into operation – Their 32nd Wind Farm in Niedersachsen

Construction began in spring last year, and now the Evendorf wind farm is generating green electricity. The three wind turbines, each with a capacity of 3.9MW, are located about 50km south of Hamburg. Together they produce enough energy to power 7,500 households each year. Evendorf is already the 32^nd wind farm that RWE has connected to the grid in Niedersachsen (Lower Saxony).

In every construction project, the safety of all those involved is RWE’s number one priority. And in Evendorf,  the constructors erected the three turbines with a total height of 200m quickly and safely. To enable the delivery of the main components such as the steel tower, rotor blade or nacelle, the construction workers temporarily created their own access road to the wind farm. The large heavy lift crane could also be transported to the construction site via this road – without affecting the traffic in the centre of the village. The bypass has already been completely removed.

In its home market of Germany, RWE is currently building three more wind farms with a capacity of more than 60MW. The company is investing around 60 million euros on this.
