Wippershainer Höhe Windpark: Eight new wind turbines approved!

The Kassel regional council has made a significant step in the energy transition! Eight new wind turbines (WEA) can now be built in the Hersfeld-Wippershain Oberförsterei district in the Hersfeld-Rotenburg district. This decision, which was announced on November 27, 2024, marks an important progress for the Region and the use of renewable energies.

The approval for the wind turbines that are of the Nordex N163 / 6thx type was granted according to an extensive test procedure. The systems will have impressive dimensions: a hub height of 164 meters, a rotor diameter of 163 meters and a total height of 245.5 meters. Each of these systems will achieve a nominal output of 7 MW, which promises a considerable amount of clean energy!

Approval will be published on December 9, 2024 in the state indicator and on the website of the RP Kassel. The process of approval was not easy - numerous statements were examined before the decision was made. The approval notice also contains various side provisions that regulate the installation and operation of the wind turbines. This ensures that the new systems are not only efficiently but also environmentally friendly.
