Commerz Real has acquired the Heinsberg wind farm in the district of the same name in North Rhine-Westphalia for its newly launched impact fund klimaVest.

The wind farm in Heinsberg comprises three wind turbines commissioned in 2017 with a remaining service life of 25 years. They come from the renowned German provider Nordex, with which a full maintenance contract for initially 15 years has been concluded. The term of the guaranteed feed-in tariff in accordance with the German Renewable Energies Act (EEG 2017) is 20 years and ends in 2037. With a rated output of 7.3 megawatts and an annual electricity output of around 18.7 million kilowatt-hours, the park can meet the electricity requirements of almost 4,600 German households.
