Lighthouse projects
The energy self-sufficient village of Feldheim
One of the most spectacular integrated concepts for supplying businesses, private households and local government with renewable energies on a decentralised and regenerative basis was implemented in Feldheim, which belongs to Treuenbrietzen, a town in Brandenburg.
The project owes its success to the excellent partnership between the municipality of Treuenbrietzen, the residents of Feldheim and the project developer, Energiequelle GmbH.
Falkenthal Energy Park –
Renewable energy supply in the region, for the region
A three-pillar energy concept based on sun, wind and biomass in the municipality Löwenberger Land (district of Oberhavel, Brandenburg) shows how well such a strategy can be adapted to the growing needs of the companies and people in a region.
Project Green Lausitzring
Energiequelle GmbH set a new milestone in the autumn of 2012: the company commissioned its first Enercon E-126 wind turbine at the Lausitzring race track in Brandenburg.
Thanks to a capacity of 7.5 megawatts, it is the world’s most powerful wind energy converter to date and capable of replacing four to six conventional turbines. With a total height of 198 m and a rotor diameter of 126 m, it is able to convert the Lausitz winds into some 12 million kilowatt hours of electrical energy per year. Erected in collaboration with its manufacturer, Enercon, the new installation is now truly the “Formula One” of wind turbines.
