Construction has resumed on the 31-megawatt Höringhausen wind farm in Germany, a joint project by Qair and Koehler Renewable Energy, following a scheduled winter break, the developers said on Wednesday.
The project, located in the Waldeck-Frankenberg district of Hesse, includes the installation of five Vestas V162 wind turbines, each with a rated capacity of 6.2 megawatts, a hub height of 166 metres and a tip height of 247 metres. The turbines are being constructed across two subprojects—four at the Langer Wald site and one at the Waldeck project area.
A new transformer station was connected to the grid for the first time on April 11, enabling the next phase of construction to proceed.
The concrete tower foundations and the first 83 metres of the turbine towers were completed last year, with full installation expected to continue through 2025.
“Our teamwork with Qair has been consistently characterized by mutual respect, openness, and an absolute determination to make an important contribution to decarbonizing the power sector together,” said Nicolas Christoph, head of Wind Power, Solar, Hydro & Business Development at Koehler Renewable Energy.
Qair Project Manager Stefan Ziegler added: “This project shows how collaborative action and a shared vision can drive the energy transition forward in concrete ways. Needless to say, we’re tremendously proud of making this flagship project a reality together with Koehler Renewable Energy.”
The developers say the Höringhausen wind farm will contribute to regional renewable energy goals while supporting Germany’s broader climate targets.
