Already on 16th of January 2014 Sabowind GmbH received the permission to erect one wind energy turbine of the type Enercon E-101 with a hub height of 149 m and a rated power of 3 MW on the site of Melaune in the east of Saxony.
After a complex approval procedure in which also various concerns regarding nature protection law had to be taken into account, Sabowind GmbH will start on April 1st with the erection of the turbine. As regularly, local undertakings will be given preferential treatment when awarding contracts.
In the future the turbine will supply appr. 2,500 households with green energy. Thus, the turbine will produce more energy than all three in the wind farm of Melaune already existing turbines (types GE 1.5s and MD 70 with a hub height of 65 m each) are producing together.
The technical and commercial management will be carried out by Sabowind Service GmbH.
