Wind Farms Seibersdorf & Hof
Twelve wind turbines of the type Enercon E-115 were installed in Austria for the first time in the communities of Seibersdorf and Hof.
The authorities approved the project after an environmental impact assessment in Seibersdorf and a permit process in Hof were carried out. Both wind farms were implemented in a very short time and simultaneously thanks to a tight schedule.
