Hessen becomes green: Vockenrod wind farm picks up speed!

A new wind blows over Hesse, because the construction work for the northern expansion of the Vockenrod wind farm in the Antrifttal, Vogelsbergkreis, is progressing well. The VSB Group, an active developer of wind and solar energy projects with headquarters in Dresden and since 2025 part of total energy, has decided not only to expand this wind farm, but also to make a valuable contribution to CO2 reduction. According to [Windbranche] (https://www.windbranche.de/news/press/pm-8516- Mehrkraft-fuer-hessen-hessen-de-wind-mit-dem-des-Windparks-Vockenrod-Planmaessig-Voran), two new wind turbines of the type Nordex N149-5.X are built together Bring 5.7 megawatts.

The first big step towards climate -friendly energy took the wind farm in spring 2024 when the first three systems with a total output of 17.1 megawatts went into operation. This means that approximately 17,000 households can be supplied with green electricity, which corresponds to an annual CO2 reduction of around 34,000 tons, as the VSB Group emphasizes.

Current construction progress

The construction of the wind farm is progressing according to schedule. Work on the foundations of the new wind turbines has been running since June 2025. The delivery of the concrete tower segments begins in mid -July. In August, not only the tower building, but also the interior of the inside of the towers will be installed. The main components, such as the gondola, the steel tower segments and the rotor blades, will be delivered by the end of September 2025. The assembly of these parts is scheduled for October 2025.

in parallel to this work, VSB also ensures careful building -on monitoring. This includes environmental compatibility, the observance of hydrogeological and soil -history aspects as well as archaeological support. The locations of the wind turbines are located in a hilly landscape, which places additional requirements for the construction, which is managed by the well -coordinated team from VSB.

The influence of renewable energies

The expansion of wind power is not just an economic one, but a crucial step in the fight against climate change. According to a study by the Federal Environment Agency, around 256 million tons of CO2 emissions could be saved in Germany in 2024 by renewable energies. The wind power has contributed to this with almost 106 million tons, as can be seen on Wind-energie.de. In view of the global challenges of climate change, the strategic expansion of wind energy is not only a local concern, but also participates in a large whole. Man has brought the climate out of balance through many decades of industry and fossil fuels, but it also has the opportunity to make a change through environmentally friendly energy sources. The Vockenrod wind farm is a bright example of how to actively participate in this turn.

summarized the project impressively shows that the Vockenrod wind farm is not only an innovation engine for the region, but also a sign of a future -oriented energy policy in Germany. Let's be infected by this fresh wind!
