Leipzig's wind energy: City council plans far -reaching expansion despite resistance!

Leipzig, Deutschland - On June 26, a decisive council meeting took place in Leipzig, which dealt with the "partial extension of renewable energies" of the Leipzig-West Saxony regional plan. A central theme of this meeting was the designation of wind ranking, especially in the village of Hartmannsdorf-Knautnaundorf. The city is under pressure, because only 0.3 percent of the city area are available for the expansion of wind turbines, which is significantly below the 2 percent goal for Saxony. The Leipziger Internet Zeitung reports that the Hartmannsdorf-Knautnaundorf local council contributed an amendment, To request compliance with the minimum distance rule of 1,000 meters for new wind turbines.

However, it was found that two existing wind turbines in the village do not comply with this distance rule. Despite these concerns, the local council was not included in the final decisions. Instead, he received the assurance that his concerns will be included in the city's statement. The majority of the council rejected applications that wanted to weaken the wind power plans in the region.

electricity requirements and storage solutions

The city will need more electricity in the future to cover the consumption of 4,000 gigawatts. CDU City Councilor Karsten Albrecht expressed the need for planning for storage systems during the session, since there was no sufficient information in the template. Wind turbine operators should therefore also plan storage solutions with to avoid electricity losses. This aspect was considered essential by the council members to improve the efficiency of wind power use.

The AfD's setting is described as a brake block, since it has been completely against the expansion plans. Nevertheless, the majority of the city council voted for the financial participation of the affected towns in the yields of the wind turbines, which was assumed with 45:10 votes. The application for repowering the wind turbines in Hartmannsdorf-Knautnaundorf also received approval with 42:10 votes.

dismantling and recycling of wind turbines

The ensuring of environmentally friendly and sustainable use of wind energy also includes the dismantling and recycling of wind turbines. As [the Federal Environment Agency] (https://www.umweltbundamt.de/themen/ Abusfall-destourcen/produktprecht-in-der-der-der-energy systems rueckbau- recycling-repowering) shows regular care and maintenance to remedy damage and the longevity of wind energy systems. The dismantling must be carried out by qualified specialists, whereby alto oils and operating fluids have to be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner.

Special procedures are used on the disassembly of rotor blades to regain the necessary materials for recycling projects. The recyclables copper and aluminum are particularly valuable. In addition, fiber composite materials must be carefully separated to ensure high -quality recycling. Efficient dismantling concepts are crucial, not only for economic efficiency, but also for environmental protection.

The city of Leipzig seems to actively tackle the challenge of wind turbine. However, it remains to be seen how the planning and concerns of the various local councils will be included in the implementation and how to ensure the necessary harmony between economic profitability and ecological standards.
