Energiekontor installs Enercon wind turbines for Oederquart wind park repowering

The Oederquart wind park was repowered, replacing 10 legacy turbines (15 MW generation capacity) with 6 new Enercon E-160 EP-5 machines, each rated at 5.6 MW. The new turbines have a 120-meter hub height and 160-meter rotor diameter. The repowered facility's capacity is more than double the initial installation. It is expected to meet the needs of around 24,000 average households each year and eliminate approximately 60,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year. Quotes: - "the corporation replaced 10 legacy turbines that are equal to 15 mega-watts of generation capacity . Afterward, it installed six new, high-output units." - "The new turbines, known as model Enercon E-160 EP-5 machines , are rated at about 5.6 megawatts each." - "They have a 120-meter hub height and 160-meter rotor diameter, which play a major role in exponentially increasing the site’s performance and potential." - "To put this amount into perspective, it is more than double the generation potential of the initial wind site installation." - "the Oederquart wind park is expected to generate roughly 80 gigawatt-hours of electricity per year once it reaches full production." - "expected to meet the needs of around 24,000 average households each year and eliminate approximately 60,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year."
