Overview
Windparks Biere und Borne is an operational onshore wind farm in Germany with a total capacity of 94.5 MW, contributing to the country's renewable energy transition under the EU Renewable Energy Directive.
Windparks Biere und Borne is an operational onshore wind farm located in Germany, with a combined capacity of 94.5 MW. The facility is owned by UWB Umspannwerk Betriebsgesellschaft Biere mbH and UWB Umspannwerk Betriebsgesellschaft Borne mbH, and it plays a role in Germany's renewable energy landscape. The wind farm operates under Germany's regulatory framework, which aligns with the EU Renewable Energy Directive III (2023/2413) targeting 42.5% renewable energy by 2030. Germany's national policies, including feed-in tariffs and grid connection guarantees, support onshore wind development. At 94.5 MW, this facility is considered medium-to-large scale, typical for German onshore wind projects. Environmentally, the wind farm contributes to reducing carbon emissions and supports Germany's Energiewende (energy transition). Its location in Saxony-Anhalt benefits from favorable wind conditions. The facility's grid integration is facilitated by Germany's robust transmission infrastructure, ensuring reliable power delivery to the region.
Environmental context
The wind farm is situated in the state of Saxony-Anhalt, an area with moderate wind resources suitable for onshore wind energy. The local environmental context includes agricultural landscapes and open fields, which are typical for wind farm siting in northern Germany. Potential impacts on bird and bat populations are managed through careful planning and monitoring, in line with German environmental regulations. The facility supports regional decarbonization goals and reduces reliance on fossil fuels.
