Elicio Repowers Bruges Wind Farm: Half the Turbines, Twice the Output

15 June 2026

---

Elicio repowers one of its earliest wind farms.

More than twenty years after the first turbines started operating in Bruges, the seven existing wind turbines will be replaced by four new units. Through this repowering project, Elicio is preparing the site for the future: fewer turbines will together generate roughly twice as much renewable energy. The announcement comes on Global Wind Day, an annual moment to highlight the power and future of wind energy worldwide. 

From Pioneer Project to Wind Farm of the Future 

Wind Farm Bruges III holds a special place within Elicio’s portfolio. Operational since 2004, it is one of the group’s earliest wind farms. These first-generation wind turbines have made a significant contribution to the local green energy supply. As they eventually reached the end of their operational lifespan, the repowering of the wind farm was initiated, with the dismantling of the original installation as the first step. 

First Large-Scale Repowering: A Milestone for Elicio 

For Elicio, Brugge III represents an important milestone. It is the group’s first large-scale repowering project and it marks a new phase in the ongoing development of its wind farm portfolio. 

“This repowering project in Bruges symbolizes what Elicio stands for: building on our pioneering experience while looking ahead. What was once one of our very first wind farms, is now becoming an even more efficient engine for sustainable energy. It is a significant step and a source of expertise for many future repowering projects. Being able to share this milestone in the run-up to Global Wind Day makes it even more symbolic.” Peter Goderis, CEO of Elicio.
