Repowering of Wind Park Höf I: More Energy, Less Area
KliNa Project of the Month 11/2025
In Höflein, Lower Austria, a trend-setting example for the further development of renewable energies is currently created: repowering of the wind park Höf I. The objective is to clearly increase the energy yield by means of modernization of the existing plants – without additional demand for land. The existing wind park with six wind energy plants and a total output of 12 MW will be able to produce up to 30 MW in future.
FCP monitors the project with comprehensive measurements on behalf of WEB HÖF R1 GmbH & Co. KG. The team of the internal Competence Center Acoustics, Dynamics, Building Physics, Measurement & Instrumentation records wind-induced background noises at four measurement points for several days and additionally documents the weather and wind situation. The collected data form the basis for the environmental impact assessment of the existing wind park and the planned repowering. The project runs from March 2025 to January 2026.
„ Wind energy is a central column of the energy transition. “
Günther Achs, FCP-managing director
“Wind energy is a central column of the energy transition. Not only high-performance plants are needed for acceptance and extension but also a sensitive awareness of the environment”, said Günther Achs, FCP-managing director and continued, “Noise protection and well-founded recording of impact data are indispensable – they create transparency, acceptance and provide for a harmonization of energy production and quality of life.”
With its expertise FCP essentially provides for making measurable sustainable energy production – technically precise, environmentally aware and future-oriented. Repowering in Höflein impressively shows how an increase in efficiency, conservation of resources and climate protection go hand in hand.
