Energiequelle Begins Construction of German Wind Farm Werther/Wipperdorf
Project development began ten years ago. The application under the Federal Immission Control Act (BImSchG) was submitted in November 2022, and approval was granted in September 2024. Following the successful bid in the wind energy tender in April, construction has officially commenced. Foundation work is scheduled for April 2026, with full commissioning of all turbines planned for January 2027.
Maria Löther, Project Manager at Energiequelle GmbH in Erfurt, expressed gratitude for the perseverance of all involved: “Both the municipalities and the landowners, as well as our cooperation partners, have shown great patience. The start of construction marks an important milestone and confirms that our trust in the project has paid off.”
Hans-Jürgen Weidt, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Helmetal eG, is also pleased about the groundbreaking: “Revenue from the wind farm will help refinance a community wind turbine – laying the foundation for local citizens to benefit from the expansion of wind energy in Thuringia.”
Following the launch in Sömmerda, the Werther wind farm is already the second Energiequelle project to be implemented in Thuringia. Additional wind farms are set to begin construction in 2026.
