Production in Germany: BKW strengthens its commitment to wind energy

Bern (ots)

BKW FMB Energy Ltd (BKW) is expanding its commitment
to wind energy and acquiring the project rights to a wind farm in the
north-east German state of Brandenburg. Project developer of the 40 
MW wind park is the Ventotec GmbH based in Lower Saxony. Work on 
constructing the wind farm is already underway, with commissioning 
expected in the last quarter of this year. BKW is thus reinforcing 
its position as Switzerland's leading provider of wind energy.
Dubener Platte wind farm will have an installed output of 40 MW, 
producing some 85.5 GWh of CO2-free energy a year from a total of 20 
turbines. This is the equivalent to the annual power consumption of 
more than 20,000 households. The wind farm is being built at Luckau, 
in Brandenburg, a region renowned for its reliable supply of wind. 
The wind farm has been developed by German company Ventotec GmbH, of 
Lower Saxony, which is also responsible for project implementation. 
BKW and Ventotec have agreed not to reveal details surrounding the 
cost of the acquisition.
The construction of this wind farm reinforces BKW's position as 
Switzerland's leading producer of wind energy.
With a turnover of CHF 3,593 m. in 2009, the BKW Group is one of 
Switzerland's largest energy companies. It employs more than 2,800 
people and covers all stages of energy supply, from production to 
trading and distribution. Directly and indirectly via its 
distribution partners, BKW supplies power to more than one million 
people. BKW's production portfolio covers hydroelectric power plants,
a nuclear power plant, a gas-fired combined cycle power plant and new
renewable energy facilities. Today, BKW is Switzerland's leading 
producer of photovoltaic energy, wind energy, small-scale hydropower 
and biomass.
