6 FAQs about [Dismantling of wind turbines at a wind farm]

How is dismantling wind turbines repurposed?

The recycling rates for dismantling wind turbines are already high today and are rising steadily. In the interests of the circular economy, the mineral waste produced is processed into substitute building materials and reused. Demolition material from concrete towers and foundations is crushed into recycled aggregates.

Can a wind farm be dismantled?

The landowner's concern is often that it is their responsibility to dismantle the wind farm, but the lease agreement specifies a dismantling security at the outset, which allows the wind farm to be dismantled if the wind power company fails to meet its obligations to dismantle the wind farm at the end of its useful life.

Can wind turbines be decommissioned?

d and around 1 GW are 25 years or older. This creates a big market for decommissioning of onshore wind farms over the next decade.However, an international standard for decommissi ning wind turbines does not exist today. WindEurope therefore launched a Task Force for Dismantling and Decommissioning to produce gu

Should you repower a wind farm?

The oldest wind farms are usually on the best wind sites but have the least efficient turbines. Repowering them makes the best use of the sites. You can triple the output with 25% fewer turbines. And local communities welcome it, not least when they’ve already seen the economic benefits of having a wind farm,” says WindEurope CEO Giles Dickson.

What is decommissioning a wind energy project?

How many wind turbines will be repowered in the next 10 years?

In the next 10 years WindEurope expects over 20 GW to be repowered. “Repowering is happening and will increase. It’s a great opportunity to get more energy from today’s wind farms. Repowering reduces the number of turbines by a third while tripling the electricity output.
