Encouraged by the construction and recent commissioning of the wind turbine in the neighbouring municipality of Veringenstadt and the undisputed urgency of the energy transition towards renewable energies, the city of Hettingen and EnBW have signed a licensing agreement for a wind farm in the area of the sub-municipality of Inneringen. Three to four state-of-the-art wind turbines can be built on the designated area. The special inland wind turbines each have an output of over 6MW. The expected electricity production per plant is around 14,500MWh. According to regional and land use planning, the concentration zone in Inneringen is a wind priority area with good wind conditions. The existing data were confirmed by EnBW's wind measurements several years ago. Thanks to new legal bases with regard to species protection, it was possible to redefine the current situation for the effects on flora and fauna with regard to wind turbines. An ecological upgrading through afforestation of compensation areas with modern mixed forest is also planned as compensation for the required clearing areas for the wind turbines.
