RWE plans to replace three old turbines at a German wind farm with three modern turbines, quadrupling the site's electricity capacity to 21 MW while keeping the same turbine count and footprint. The upgraded wind farm will generate enough electricity to power roughly 17,000 homes and increase local government revenues tied to electricity output.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
A fixed turbine count no longer limits output at established wind sites. If you build renewable energy infrastructure, look at repowering projects as a way to sharply increase output without needing new land or permits.
