Sopna Sury, CEO RWE Renewables Europe & Australia, said: “By making efficient use of recultivated land in the Rhenish lignite area, we are creating local value for a region undergoing structural change. With these state-of-the-art wind turbines on the Wiedenfelder Höhe, we are providing even more secure, locally generated and climate friendly renewable electricity from the district. This also benefits the local population, as we are paying €00.20/kWh generated to the surrounding municipalities. This equates to projected annual revenue of up to €60 000 from the new turbines alone.”
