Windpark Sülzert

About

Founded in 2024, Windpark Sülzert is a co-op headquartered in Alzenau, Germany specializing in Wind.

Windpark Sülzert is an intercommunal wind energy development project spanning the border between Hessen and Bayern in Germany. The project plans to install eight modern wind turbines (Enercon 175 EPS, 6 MW each) on communally-owned land in designated wind priority areas. Site selection prioritizes reforestation opportunities on beetle-affected forest areas. Comprehensive environmental assessments examine protected species including eagle owls, red kites, bats, and hazel mice, with mitigation measures such as construction breaks during breeding seasons and selective turbine shutdowns during bat activity. The project emphasizes community participation through cooperative share acquisition, offering fixed-term loans and savings products to local residents. Decommissioning costs are secured through operator reserves. Environmental compliance includes forest preservation protocols, noise mitigation (35-45 dB at 300m), demand-responsive night lighting for aviation safety, and complete foundation removal at end-of-life.
