The citizens' cooperative Jurenergie eG and N-ERGIE Regenerativ GmbH are jointly driving forward the expansion of wind energy in the region: the approval documents for three new wind turbines on Grünberg near Postbauer-Heng have now been submitted to the Neumarkt district office.

"This brings us a big step closer to implementing our first wind farm," says a delighted Michael Vogel, CEO of Jurenergie eG. The cooperative with over 900 members is already successfully focusing on citizen participation in photovoltaic projects - many people from the region should also be able to participate financially in the wind farm.

Norman Villnow, Managing Director of N-ERGIE Regenerativ GmbH, emphasizes: "Local acceptance is a key concern for us. With Jurenergie, we have a strong partner at our side with in-depth local knowledge and a committed network."

Delighted that after intensive planning work, the approval documents for the joint wind power project near Postbauer-Heng have now been submitted (from left): Norman Villnow (Managing Director of N-ERGIE Regenerativ GmbH), Michael Vogel (Managing Director of Bürgergenossenschaft Jurenergie), Agnes Gruber (Project Manager Jurenergie), Dominic Pfeufer (Project Manager N-ERGIE), Christian Petter (Managing Director Petter Ingenieure) and Luca Gigliotti (Project Manager Petter Ingenieure).

Construction scheduled to start in 2027 - green electricity for around 12,000 households

Once the application has been checked for completeness, the district authority has six months to decide on the application. At the same time, the project partners are preparing to set up a joint operating company and participate in the Federal Network Agency's tender. If everything goes according to plan, construction can begin in 2027 - with the possibility of citizen participation via the cooperative.

Three wind turbines with a total height of 260 to 270 meters, a rotor diameter of 175 meters and an output of 7 megawatts each are planned. The expected electricity production is around 40,000 megawatt hours per year - enough to supply around 12,000 households with green electricity.
