Feldheim starts through: new wind turbines and viewing platform until 2029!

Feldheim, Deutschland - The small but fine village of Feldheim in Brandenburg is facing an exciting time of change. A new era is being worked on here, which should still modernize the already energy -strong village. The Energiequelle company has big plans: it will dismantle the wind turbines over 25 years old and replace it with eight larger wind turbines. While the installed power is reduced from 64 to 56 megawatts, the hub heights rise to an impressive 175 meters. The wind power has a long tradition in Feldheim, which is now through [maz-online.de] (https://www.maz-online.de/lokales/potsdam-mittelmark/treuenbrietzen/energieautarkes-dorf-in -Brandenburg-field-building-new-wind-only-wind-out-sight-standing-bis-2029-6c6c6c6cmjmbv5h2paiygky5ovjfzi.html) will continue to the future. Part of the old wind turbines continue to be used, which supports the sustainability of the measures.

The plans are already in the municipal discussion; The city council of Treuenbrietzen must agree to the new development plan. Not only are the authorities asked here, the citizens also have the opportunity to express their opinions before the approval is granted according to the Federal Immission Control Code. The viewing platform, which is also planned, will be built at an ENERCON-E-70 tower at a height of about 100 meters. It should not only offer a breathtaking view of the surroundings, but also be used as an event location for conferences and team building.

a pioneer in renewable energies

Feldheim is considered the first energy -self -sufficient village of Germany and is therefore really unique. It is proudly positioned with 100 percent supply from renewable energy sources. The village benefits from 55 wind turbines, a biogas plant, a wood chip heating and a solar park and produces more electricity than it consumes itself. The excess energy offer is also fed into the public network, which also confirmed [dStgb.de] (https://www.dstgb.de/themen/klimaschutz-und-klimaan adaptation/klimaschtutz-vor/energieautarkes-dorf-feldheim/). With a merger of 130 citizens who invest in Feldheim Energie GmbH & Co KG as a partner, the energy transition is kept here in citizens' hands.

The previous successes of the Feldheim energy initiative are impressive: almost 250 million kWh of electricity is generated annually, which avoids CO2 emissions of around 166,750 tons. This makes the village a showcase project in the region of the Havelland and beyond. The planned changes, together with the support of a regional power grid, will also bring further advantages, including annual income of around 175,000 euros from feed -in tariffs.

A look into the future

With the new visitor center, which will be part of the new viewing platform, Feldheim strengthens its role as the center for environmental education and renewable energies. The new energies Forum Feldheim not only offers educational tours and workshops, but also serves as a conference location for up to 150 people. Equipped with barrier -free access, there will be valuable impulses.

The official permission for these exciting projects is expected to be granted at the end of 2026, with commissioning, which is planned for the end of 2029. The conversion and modernization of the wind turbines will not only be of great importance for Feldheim itself, but also for the entire region and the environment. The upcoming developments are part of a larger trend in which numerous municipalities in Germany switch their energy supply to renewable technologies. The initiative Autgrid, supported by the BMBF, analyzes these regional endeavors to promote energy praise in Germany, of which Feldheim also benefits, as Fraunhofer ISE.
