The six wind turbine generators (WTG) are of the type Enercon E82 with a nominal power output of 2MW each and a hub height of 79 m. The wind farm has already been partially feeding into the public grid since May this year; final commissioning of all 6 WTGs will take place in June.
All of the generated power will be fed into the public grid, corresponding to the annual consumption of around 8,000 households.
Daniel Christnach, head of renewable energies at Enovos Luxembourg, said: “By investing in this wind farm, which generates around 32GWh of green electricty each year, Enovos Luxembourg contributes to further extend it’s share of power generation from renewable energy sources. Furthermore around 13,000 t of CO2 emissions will be saved each year.
“The lack of roughness in the terrain, combined with a high annual number of wind hours, makes this location extremely attractive.”
Last week, Enovos Luxembourg also decided to participate in the offshore wind farm ‘Bard 1’.
Jean Lucius, CEO of Enovos Luxembourg, said: “The purchase of ‘La Benate’ is further significant proof of the commitment of Enovos in the field of renewable energies. This highly profitable project represents our first investment in renewable energies in France – additional projects, in France and other countries, will follow.”
Enovos Luxembourg was supported in the transaction by goetzpartners.
