Reinvest SA building windfarms in Germany
MECKLENBURGWEST POMERANIA, GERMANY - Swiss energy company Reninvest SA recently announced plans to install four new windfarms with a total energy output of 45 megawatts MW in northern Germany.
Mecklenburg I 10 MW, Mecklenburg II 20 MW, Mecklenburg III 7.5 MW and Mecklenburg IV 7.5 MW will be equipped with 2.5MW Nordex Wind Turbines.
The four windfarms will be located in the county of MecklenburgWest Pomerania. The exact location will depend on the regional development plan, which has not been approved by the authorities yet. The construction of the windfarms will start in June 2011, and completion is set for the end of the same year. Tenders for subcontractors will be opened January 2011. Reninvest will invest almost $130 million in the development of the four projects.
Wind conditions in the county of MecklenburgWest Pomerania are excellent for power generation. More than 34 of the countys yearly energy needs could be met by wind energy. Almost 1,500 MW of power is currently being produced by wind turbines in the county, according to the German Wind Energy Institute.
Reninvest was founded in 2004. The company is committed to producing electricity from renewable sources. Reninvest collects investments, plans the site, obtains authorizations, organizes and administrates construction and operates plants. The company owns and operates various windfarms in Germany and has plans to construct wind facilities in Switzerland, Italy and Greece.

EIA expects solar and wind to be larger sources of U.S. electricity generation this summer
WASHINGTON - In our Summer Electricity Outlook, a supplement to our May 2022 Short-Term Energy Outlook, we expect the largest increases in U.S. electric power sector generation this summer will come from renewable energy sources. These increases are the result of new capacity additions. We forecast utility-scale solar generation between June and August 2022 will grow by 10 million megawatthours (MWh) compared with the same period last summer, and wind generation will grow by 8 million MWh. Forecast generation from coal and natural gas declines by 26 million MWh this summer, although natural gas generation could increase in some electricity…
