Why Wind Energy is Essential for Hessen

Wind power is a vital pillar of a resilient and independent energy future. For Hessen's high-tech economy and unique geography, its expansion is a strategic necessity.

Powering Europe's Financial and Digital Hub:
The Frankfurt Rhine-Main metropolitan area is a global financial center and one of the world's largest internet exchanges. Its ever-growing number of data centers requires a massive, 24/7 supply of green electricity, which wind power is uniquely suited to provide.

Harnessing Wind in Forested Highlands:
Much of Hessen is covered by the Mittelgebirge (low mountain ranges). These elevated, forested areas offer excellent and consistent wind resources. Our expertise lies in developing wind projects in these complex environments with the utmost ecological sensitivity and in line with HessenForst guidelines.

Supportive State Policy & Clear Goals:
The Hessian state government is strongly committed to the energy transition, having designated 2% of the state's land area as priority zones for wind energy. This clear political support creates a stable and reliable framework for new projects.

Driving Local Economic Value:
Each wind park generates significant local tax revenue (Gewerbesteuer) for municipalities, creates jobs, and provides landowners with a stable income, strengthening rural economies and increasing the state's energy independence.

VIRDI has the specialized expertise required to navigate Hessen’s planning landscape and make your wind project a success.

SOLUTIONS

A VIRDI wind park is a complex undertaking that we manage for you from start to finish. We deliver a comprehensive service package engineered for maximum efficiency and seamless project execution.

Site Analysis & Wind Assessment

Our process begins with a detailed analysis of your site in Hessen, using advanced modeling and on-site measurements to precisely assess the wind potential, especially in forested and highland terrain.

Permitting & Planning (BImSchG)

Our expert team navigates the rigorous permitting process in Hessen, managing all dialogue with local authorities, regional planning associations, and forestry offices to secure the necessary approvals.

Financing & Construction

We secure the complete project financing and manage the entire construction process, from access roads and foundations to turbine erection and grid connection, prioritizing regional partners wherever possible.

Technical & Commercial Operation

Our responsibility continues long after commissioning. We manage the day-to-day technical operations, maintenance, and service to ensure maximum uptime and optimize the marketing of the electricity produced.

Designed for Efficiency: Modern Technology & Repowering

We focus on the latest generation of wind turbines, which are more powerful, quieter, and more efficient than ever before. For existing wind sites in Hessen, Repowering is a core competency.

By replacing aging turbines with fewer, more powerful modern models, we can dramatically increase energy output on existing, already-accepted sites, maximizing land-use efficiency and contributing significantly to the state's energy goals.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of land is suitable for a wind park in Hessen?

Suitable land is typically located within the priority areas designated by Hessen's regional planning authorities. This can include agricultural land as well as designated forest areas. We provide a no-cost check to see if your property qualifies.

What level of lease income can I expect?

Lease payments for prime wind energy sites are among the most lucrative sources of secondary income for landowners. Payments are tied to the turbine's revenue and provide a very high, long-term, and often inflation-indexed income.

What are the costs or risks for me as a landowner?

None. VIRDI bears 100% of the development risk and all costs for studies, planning, permits, construction, operation, and the eventual decommissioning of the turbines. Your lease payment is pure revenue.

How long does it take to develop a wind park?

Wind energy projects are long-term ventures. Due to the extensive expert studies and the demanding BImSchG permitting process, you should anticipate a timeframe of 5 to 7 years from initial planning to commissioning.

What is repowering and is my old wind site suitable?

Repowering involves replacing old, less powerful turbines with new, highly efficient models. This significantly increases the energy yield on the same footprint. If an older wind park is located on your property, it has a very high potential for a successful repowering project. Contact us for an evaluation.
