Revolution in Löberitz: New wind and solar park starts in 2025!
Construction of the “Löberitz Wind & PV” hybrid project in Saxony-Anhalt, which combines wind and solar energy, will begin in November 2025.
Revolution in Löberitz: New wind and solar park starts in 2025!
A lot is happening again in the area of renewable energies in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt. From August 2025, the VSB Group plans to start construction preparations for a new wind and photovoltaic park in Löberitz. The first steps in establishing the innovative project include staking out the area in Bitterfeld-Wolfen, followed by European hamster monitoring and archaeological investigations. Construction on the two facilities is scheduled to begin in early 2026 and promises to advance the region not only sustainably but also economically. According to windbranche.de, the wind farm will generate an output of 21.6 MW, while the photovoltaic system will also produce 19 MWp will make a contribution.
The special thing about the “Löberitz Wind & PV” project is that it is VSB’s first hybrid project in Germany and is being implemented in close cooperation with the Bitterfeld-Wolfen municipal utility company. They even have an option to purchase 5 MWp of the photovoltaic system, which speaks for the region's energy policy cooperation. This combination of wind and solar energy is intended not only to create a balance in fluctuating electricity production, but also to contribute to the stability of the network by feeding the electricity generated into the VSB Salzfurtkapelle substation.
Repowering in Saxony-Anhalt
In addition to the plans in Löberitz, there is also exciting news to report elsewhere: VSB and NextWind plan to modernize another wind power plant near Zörbig. The original capacity of 40.5 MW is to be tripled to an impressive 115.2 MW. This is done by replacing 27 old turbines with 16 new Vestas V172 turbines. As ege-windturbines.com informs, the developers are still waiting for approval for the project and the conclusion of a power contract in the German onshore wind auctions. The repowered systems will ultimately provide clean energy for around 80,000 households.
Repowering is considered necessary in Germany to achieve ambitious climate goals, as many wind turbines could reach the end of their operational life by 2030. The approach of replacing old wind turbines with newer, more powerful models not only brings with it higher amounts of electricity, but also benefits for species and pollution protection. These modern turbines are quieter and require less space, which also benefits local residents. According to wind-energie.de, exchanging old turbines also contributes to biodiversity by reducing risks for protected bird species.
The VSB Group, which has been active in the Anhalt-Bitterfeld district for almost 30 years and has built over 750 plants in six countries, has been part of TotalEnergies since 2025 and can look back on an impressive pipeline of over 18 GW. With this commitment, the company shows that the future of energy supply in Germany and Europe can be designed to be hybrid and sustainable, which not only benefits the climate, but also the local people.
