Iberdrola will build three wind farms with a capacity of up to 200 MW in Germany
Iberdrola, through its subsidiary in Germany, has been awarded three sites in the latest Forst Baden-Württemberg (ForstBW) tender to build three wind farms with a total potential capacity of between 170 and 200 megawatts (MW). A total of 25 wind turbines will be installed, supplying approximately 112,000 households with renewable energy, which will prevent the emission of 252,000 tonnes of CO2 per year.
"Projects like this highlight Iberdrola Deutschland's ambitions in the area of renewables and specifically in the onshore business, and validates our integrated strategy of growth and investment in the country," said Felipe Montero, CEO of Iberdrola Deutschland.
In Germany, Iberdrola has grouped all its business activities under the subsidiary Iberdrola Deutschland. The Berlin-based company is the largest operator of offshore wind farms in the Baltic Sea. The company's Baltic Hub complex consists of three offshore wind farms: Wikinger, which will be connected to the grid in 2017; Baltic Eagle, which is scheduled for commissioning in the second half of 2024; and Windanker, which is scheduled for grid connection in 2026. Together, the three wind farms will have a total capacity of more than 1.1 GW.
Iberdrola is also building the Boldekov photovoltaic plant in the country. With 56 MW, it will come on stream in 2025.
With its Offshore and Onshore business divisions, Iberdrola Germany is active in the planning, construction and operation of offshore and onshore wind farms as well as photovoltaic projects.
The company offers its industrial and commercial customers tailor-made solutions for the supply of green energy, ranging from conventional electricity supply including portfolio management services, through long-term PPA contracts linked to Iberdrola's own renewable energy plants, to photovoltaic solutions for self-consumption.
In addition, Iberdrola Germany also offers integrated cross-technology solutions, such as battery storage or the production of green hydrogen for industrial use.
