A corresponding vote was held in the Niederanven council on Friday morning, where the four potential locations for the windmills were decided upon.

In the near future, four new windmills will be placed in the municipality of Niederanven. The locations include the nature reserve “Op der Aarnescht” and the Echternach road going through Ernster.

The four planned windmills will cover the electricity usage of over 32,000 people, which in turn saves 23,075 tons of CO2 per year.

On Friday morning, the Niederanven council voted the “memorandum of understanding” with SOLER, a renewable energy company, for the creation of a new society called “Energiepark Niederanven SA”. After the installation has been running for a year, 10% of the parts will be opened to the public, in order for citizens to participate in the windmill project.
