Mercedes-Benz, UKA Secure Approval for 140 MW Wind Farm in Northern Germany

Mercedes-Benz AG and UKA Group have received clearance to begin construction of a 140-megawatt wind farm on the automaker’s 800-hectare test track in northern Germany. Scheduled for completion in 2027, the facility will comprise 20 turbines and supply roughly one-fifth of Mercedes-Benz’s electricity needs in Germany under a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA).

The project marks a significant investment in onshore wind at a time when Germany is accelerating renewable deployment to cut dependence on fossil fuels and meet EU energy transition targets.
