The Ellern wind farm in the Hunsrück region of Rhineland-Palatinate consists of 18 wind turbines and has been in operation since 2013.
The wind farm is partly equipped with the world's largest available onshore turbine type ENERCON E-126, which impresses with an output of 7.5 MW each. One turbine produces the annual electricity consumption of around 5,000 households.
Technical description

Ecologial & environmental protection
Even during the construction of the wind turbines, care was taken to keep the environmental impact as low as possible. For example, low-emission trucks were used and storage areas were dismantled.
During operation, comprehensive environmental protection measures ensure that the impact on the local bat, wildcat and bird populations is kept to a minimum. Bat boxes were installed and the breeding behavior and migration of birds (especially cranes) was monitored and mapped.
