Germany's Tallest Wind Turbine Rises in Ebersberg by 2026
A new wind turbine named Föhrenpold is taking shape in the Ebersberg district. Construction began in February 2023, with plans to start full operations by late 2026. Once complete, it will stand 246 metres tall and produce ten million kilowatt-hours of electricity each year.
Work on the turbine started in early 2023, with the structure set to reach its full height by July. The rotor blades will follow in October, marking a key step toward completion. Investors—around 40 locals—could see their first returns before the year ends.
The project promises an average annual return of up to five percent. Once operational, the turbine will feed electricity into the grid at eleven cents per kilowatt-hour. It joins two existing turbines in Ebersberg, with 150 more either under construction or in advanced planning across the area.
The turbine will boost local renewable energy output significantly. With 101 turbines already running and 150 more on the way, Ebersberg's wind power capacity continues to grow. Full operations for Föhrenpold are expected by the end of 2026.
