3 November 2007 - Issue : 754
Wind project developer Ecoenerg and German partner EAB Projektbau are on track to complete a 42 MW wind park in the Czech Republic by the end of this year, set to be the country’s largest, company officials told Interfax.
“Twelve wind energy plants of the type Enercon E82 <2 MW, 78-meter hub height> are now in operation and 18 have been erected out of the 21 planned,” EAB project manager Maik Muller said in an onsite interview in Krystofovy Hamry, part of the low Krusne mountain range of North Bohemia. Muller added that the goal of completing the wind farm this year, based mostly on the delivery of components via mountain roads, will depend on winter weather conditions. Ecoenerg and EAB Projektbau are independent companies of the EAB group, which has already planned, constructed and commissioned 200 wind energy plants, mainly in Germany.
On foreign projects, EAB works with local partners such as Ecoenerg, and is in various stages of developing wind parks also in Poland and Hungary, company director Rainer Sack told Interfax, adding the company sees great potential for the region in renewable energy.
“The Czech Republic offers more potential in using wind energy in the region of the Krusne mountain range as well as the midlands,” Sack said. “Ecoenerg is interested in developing new projects in the near future.” In Poland, one 32 MW project, in Inowroclaw, has been fully approved and the negotiation with the purchaser of the project is nearly concluded. EAB expects to realise two other Polish projects with a total 86 MW in 2008 and 2009. In Hungary, the project development of one 22 MW project in Lovo is nearly complete and the company is awaiting approval for a license to supply wind energy to the grid.
