RWE Renewables (RWE) is planning to commence construction of another wind farm on a recultivated opencast mining site as early as spring 2021, after the company was successful at the latest German auction for onshore wind farms.
The future Bedburg A 44n wind farm will be situated on a recultivated former opencast mining site near the new motorway section of the same name, in Bedburg, Germany. There, five Nordex wind turbines with an installed capacity of 5.7 MW each and a hub height of 164 m will be erected over the coming months. They are due to be commissioned early in 2022.
Just like nearby Königshovener Höhe wind farm (67.2 MW), which is also situated in Bedburg, the Bedburg A 44n project is a joint venture of RWE (51%) with the City of Bedburg (49%).
