Deutsche Windtechnik is expecting an increased volume of orders for dismantling projects in the coming year. "Two factors are decisive," said Lars Vogler, the leading project manager at Deutsche Windtechnik. "On the one hand, we are seeing that the authorities are increasingly awarding contracts for the repowering of wind farms again after months of backlog of permits." In autumn 2020, the team was able to successfully dismantle the Bergedorf and Keula wind farms in northern and central Germany. Well-preserved individual parts were resold or kept as spare parts. On the other hand, according to Lars Vogler, projects that consist solely of dismantling will receive a boost from the cessation of the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) remuneration for turbines brought into operation prior to 2000. Since it is not worth continuing operation for all wind turbines, the Repowering Team is preparing for an increase in requests for dismantling and equipment resale from 2021 onwards.
