Wind power in Stemwede: Five new facilities are available for decision!

Wind power in Stemwede: Five new facilities are available for decision!

The discussion about wind energy in the municipality of Stemwede picks up speed again. The investor plans the construction of five wind turbines in the municipal area, with three plants in the Haldem district and two plants in the Sundern district. The applications for a preliminary decision are currently located at the Minden-Lübbecke district. Advice on the construction committee took place on February 13th, while the municipal council should make a final decision on February 27, such as Hello-luebcke.de reported.

The planned wind turbines will reach heights between 199 and 262 meters. However, decision -making authority is not only due to the municipal council, since this does not act as an approval authority. The Responsibility for the approval lies with the Minden district administration, which has forwarded the processes for evaluating to the administration in Levern. An important aspect in this context is that the approval authority is not bound to the vote of the local council.

Current legal framework conditions

Approval for the new facilities is also influenced by current legislative initiatives at the federal level. The Federal Government plans to make changes in the Spatial Ordinance Act and the Energy Industry Act. These initiatives aim to modernize and accelerate the procedures for the planning and approval of renewable energies. According to bundes- government.de , the procedural duration for spatial planning procedures could be limited to six months, which could be important for future projects.

In addition, there are efforts to facilitate approval processes for wind energy in certain areas by dispensing with environmental impact assessments, provided that a strategic environmental examination has already been carried out. This could also have an impact on the planned wind turbines in Stemwede, since they are outside the areas defined by the regional council in Detmold.

successful wind power projects in the region

With regard to the wind energy in Stemwede, there are already first successes. In autumn 2023, a 45-megawatt wind park, which consists of ten Nordex systems, is to be put into operation, each with a height of 125 meters. This project is realized by ENERCITION, which plans to achieve a total energy performance of 1 gigawatt by 2025. It should be emphasized that the deep foundation of the wind turbines of porr special deep construction , whereby 380 frankipoles were produced in a period of five months.

The construction of the wind turbines was designed in such a way that it is both effective and environmentally friendly. Each wind turbine was assigned 30 francipes with a diameter of 51 cm and a length of up to 11 m. Through measures to improve the ground, the total mass of wind turbines could be optimized to over 2,000 tons and the CO2 emissions reduced. This increase in efficiency is a positive signal for future wind power projects in the region.

Thus, in Stemwede, both new developments and existing challenges are due to the discussion about wind energy. The upcoming decisions and legal framework could have far -reaching consequences for the future use of renewable energies in the municipality
