Austrian energy company Wien Energie has commenced the construction of a 27.6MW wind park in the state of Lower Austria. The park is a part of the company’s strategy to double its wind capacity by the end of the decade.
According to Wien Energie, the Trumau wind park will feature eight Vestas V117 turbines of 3.45MW; each will be installed in the Baden region this summer. The crane sites and foundations will be prepared and the cables laid by the spring. Once commissioned in the autumn of this year, the park will generate 51,000MWh of electricity annually, enough for about 14,600 households in Lower Austria. In addition, the facility will offset 30,000 tonnes of carbon emissions per year.
The total investment in the project amounts to EUR 36 million (USD 40.93m).
