Sprakebüll is a small municipality in the district of North Friesland, situated within the state of Schleswig Holstein. In 1998 the villagers decided to set up the first wind park (5 windmills, each 1.65 MW), which are owned by the local villagers. The second locally owned wind park soon followed (1st wind farm with 22 citizens, 2nd wind farm with 183 citizens). In 2011 the Stadum-Sprakebüll wind park was further created with 3 windmills and a generation capacity of 2.5 MW each. In 2014 the first repowering project was conducted. Where the original 5 windmills, each 1.65 MW were replaced with ones producing 3.6 MW each. In 2009 there was the construction of a 100 MW PV system on 7 hectares of land, with the intention of setting up a solar energy park. In addition to the production of wind and solar electricity, the villagers utilized a privately owned biogas plant. They set up a district heating cooperative and with the help of the municipality received a pre-financing of investments, for a CHP (combined heat and power), boiler and heating network. The municipality then leased it to the cooperative, to produce both heat and electricity. The biogas plant size is 1.7 MW with 3 heating grids. The heating network is installed in the village center, where the cooperative power supply Sprakebüll eG buys heat from the privately owned biogas plant, located at the end of the village and distributes it via the heating network to the habitants.
