VSB Group has broken ground on the Löberitz wind farm in Saxony-Anhalt, continuing its strategy focused on repowering existing sites combined with hybrid generation at a shared grid connection point. The project will replace five existing turbines with three Vestas V172-7.2 wind turbines. Installed capacity will increase from 4.25 MW to 21.6 MW. Commissioning is scheduled for 2027.
The wind farm forms part of the Löberitz hybrid park, which combines wind and solar generation at a single grid connection point. In addition to a ground-mounted photovoltaic installation with a capacity of 19.99 MWp, a battery energy storage system is planned at a later stage.
The existing site consists of five Vestas V52 turbines commissioned in 2003, each with a capacity of 850 Kw, resulting in a total installed capacity of 4.25 MW. These turbines have a hub height of 74 metres, a rotor blade length of 26 metres, and a total height of 100 metres. The current annual energy production is approximately 6.44 GWh.
Under the repowering project, three Vestas V172-7.2 turbines will be installed, each with a capacity of 7.2 MW, bringing total installed capacity to 21.5 MW. The new turbines will have a hub height of 175 metres, rotor blades measuring 86 metres, and a total height of 261 metres. Annual energy production is expected to reach around 65.7 GWh following commissioning in 2027.
