New wind turbine in Rammertshofen: green electricity for 3,250 households!

New wind turbine in Rammertshofen: green electricity for 3,250 households!

in the municipality of Egenhofen, in the Fürstenfeldbruck district, something is moved. Stadtwerke Munich (SWM) gave the starting signal for the construction of a new wind turbine in Rammertshofen. With an output of 7.2 megawatts, the wind turbine will generate around 13 gigawatt hours of green electricity annually from the end of 2026, which corresponds to the electricity requirement of around 3,250 households. So the SWM.de On this exciting step towards energy transition.

Mitte of preparations are already considered for the end of 2023. The project comes from Neovis-S.E GmbH and Vitus Hintersseher Umwelt GmbH and is realized on a private property. The SWM not only acquired the project rights, but also obtained the necessary approval in accordance with the Federal Immission Protection Act. Dr. Karin Thelen, managing director of regional energy transition at the SWM, made it clear how challenging the search for suitable areas for wind turbines in the region is.

a step in the right direction

With this wind turbine, the third mainstay of the SWM in the Fürstenfeldbruck district is put into operation according to the facilities in Freimann and Fröttmaning. Project manager Sabrina Erb also promised a forest -gentle construction. Temporarily cleared areas are to be reforested, while permanently cleared areas are compensated for by developing a climat -tolerant forest of oak and hornbeam. With this, the SWM not only want to create new habitat, but also promote biodiversity.

But what about wind power expansion in Bavaria as a whole? A look at the current situation shows that on January 29, 2025, no wind turbine was put into operation throughout Bavaria. This refers to the stagnant expansion of wind power in the Free State, as an information pillar from Greenpeace at Marienplatz in Munich recently addressed. The lack of new facilities is a clear indication that the challenges of energy transition and climate protection are still great. The topic is of enormous relevance, especially when looking at the goals of climate protection and the fight against climate change, as is clear here (see alamy.de ).

future prospects and potential

The Bavarian wind atlas could come to help here. It represents a valuable planning and orientation aid that informs municipalities, citizens and investors about regional potential for wind energy. The new edition of 2021 offers a detailed overview of important key figures such as wind speed and location quality. Practical for everyone who catches the eye of new wind power projects in the region, the stmwi.bayern.de Valuable aids.

With the wind turbine in Rammertshofen, the SWM pursue an ambitious goal: they want to fully cover their green electricity needs by the end of the year in order to make an important contribution to the energy transition in Munich. It is to be hoped that this project and other future systems can successfully master the challenges of wind power in Bavaria.
