Bremen, August 13, 2025 - Energiekontor AG ("Energiekontor"; $EKT (-7,26%) ), one of the leading German project developers and operators of wind and solar parks based in Bremen, has sold two German wind farm projects with a total nominal capacity of 40 megawatts to the city of Elsdorf, thus successfully concluding two further transactions in the current financial year 2025.
The two onshore wind farm projects sold are the Elsdorf-Frankeshoven and Elsdorf-Tollhausen projects in the Rhine-Erft district of North Rhine-Westphalia. The projects have a total generation capacity of around 40 megawatts. The transactions took place at municipal level. The buyer of the two turnkey projects is the town of Elsdorf.
The Elsdorf-Frankeshoven and Elsdorf-Tollhausen wind farms will have a nominal output of around 17 and 23 megawatts respectively. A total of seven Nordex N149 wind turbines are planned at the two sites. The individual turbines have a hub height of approx. 164 meters and a rotor diameter of 149 meters. The average expected annual yield of both wind farms from the first full year of operation is around 90 gigawatt hours - sufficient to supply more than 27,000 average households with renewable electricity and save around 68,000 tons of CO2 per year. The projects are eligible for an EEG surcharge, which was awarded by the Federal Network Agency as part of this year's February tender.
"We are very pleased about the joint commitment with the town of Elsdorf. Collaborations like this strengthen regional value creation from renewable energies. We are thus making an important contribution to the energy transition at municipal level," says Peter Szabo, CEO of Energiekontor AG. "Including these two transactions, we have already completed four sales in the current financial year. Further projects in Germany and abroad are currently at an advanced stage of the sales process and should be successfully completed in the coming weeks and months."
"Through the acquisition, the town of Elsdorf will benefit financially from the wind farm projects for the benefit of all citizens. At the same time, the expansion of wind power will help Elsdorf to become more independent in its energy supply and make an important contribution to the energy transition in the region," emphasizes Andreas Heller, Mayor of the town of Elsdorf.
