Magdeburg (dpa/sa) - Saxony-Anhalt is considering building a wind farm for the industrial park with the settlement of the US chip manufacturer Intel in Magdeburg. In this way, the Intel business park can be supplied with its own electricity, Prime Minister Reiner Haseloff told the "Spiegel" according to a preliminary report on Friday. "We have to ensure that competitiveness and value chains are maintained regardless of crises and wars." The wind farm would not only guarantee security of supply and low energy prices, but also ensure greater sustainability. As a wind power state, Saxony-Anhalt has a lot of experience with green electricity.
The company recently pointed out the need for cheaper energy. In March 2022, Intel announced that the latest generation of chips would be produced in the state capital of Saxony-Anhalt from 2027. 17 billion euros had been announced as an initial investment. Due to rising construction and energy costs, it could become more expensive. Thousands of jobs are to be created.
