Mercedes-Benz AG and the energy park developer UKA (Umweltgerechte Kraftanlagen GmbH & Co. KG) have received permission to start installation of a wind farm at the Mercedes-Benz test track in Papenburg, northern Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By 2027, 20 wind turbines with a capacity of 140 megawatts (MW) will be built on the site as part of a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Around 20 percent of the annual electricity requirements of Mercedes-Benz Group AG in Germany can be covered by this after commissioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mercedes-Benz and UKA are cooperating with further partners for the construction of the wind farm. The 20 wind turbines with a total nominal output of 140 MW come from German manufacturer Nordex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The concrete foundations and concrete parts for the hybrid towers with a hub height of 164 metres come from Max B\u00f6gl Wind AG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The approximately 800-hectare Papenburg test track has been an integral part of the company\u2019s research and development activities since 1998. With the project, Mercedes-Benz is expanding its green electricity portfolio in the medium term and at the same time actively supporting the expansion of onshore wind energy in Germany.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
