The Government's Authorizing Body Sanctions Its Endorsement

=====================================================================================

The Gethsemane wind park in Philippsthal, Kassel, is set to double its capacity with the replacement of four aging wind turbines. The responsible government presidency in Kassel has issued a permit for the replacement project, but specific details such as the timeline and costs have not been disclosed yet.

The new wind turbines will be of the "Nordex N133" type, each with a height of 192 meters, significantly larger than the ones they are replacing. Each new turbine can generate up to 4.8 megawatts of electricity, resulting in a combined capacity of 14.4 megawatts, an increase of 7.2 MW from the current capacity of 7.2 MW.

The permit was issued after a comprehensive procedure involving the examination of application documents and statements received. However, the identity of the manufacturer supplying the new wind turbines remains undisclosed, with no official project documents or announcements from the municipality or the relevant energy authority available as of September 2025.

To obtain current information, it is recommended to contact the municipal administration of Philippsthal, the responsible state energy authority, check the websites of project developers, and local media and newspaper archives. Prominent German wind turbine manufacturers include Siemens Gamesa, Vestas, GE Renewable Energy, Enercon, and Nordex, but the actual supplier for the Gethsemane wind park has not been confirmed yet.

In conclusion, without access to the current project documents or official announcements from the municipality or the energy authority, the question cannot be definitively answered. Direct inquiries to the aforementioned entities are the quickest way to obtain information. If required, I can help draft a sample inquiry for the municipal administration.
