Inspiring story in Germany

Since 2007, a citizens’ wind park has brought together around three hundred members of the local communities around Schleswig Holstein, in northern Germany. United by their desire to use their natural resources to their advantage, they have succeeded in creating jobs and supplying their community with clean, renewable energy.

The shareholders – local villagers and farmers – are collectively responsible for the running and management of the wind park. With 7 turbines and a capacity of 27.5 MW, the park can produce enough energy for 18,750 households in the region.
