German EnBW to coordinate reactor data with wind power
plant
London (Platts)--14Apr2005
EnBW plans to share information on managing its 806MW Brunsbuttel nuclear power plant with the neighboring wind energy plant belonging to Repower at a daily public forum, the Baden-Wurttemberg utility said Thursday. "We want to keep on good terms with our neighbors and pass on information about both forms of power production under one roof," EnBW said in a statement. Repower brought online the world's biggest wind power turbine, a 5MW unit in Brunsbuttel, in February. With a nameplate capacity of 5,000kW, it expected to produce 17-mil kWh of power per year. The Brunsbuttel reactor has produced around 5-mil kWh of power in the past year. "As a company, we have a balanced energy mix from fossil fuels, renewable energy and nuclear power and as such wind energy can also play its part," EnBW said.
