The facility will include five wind turbines, each with a capacity of 2MW and is scheduled to be commissioned in September 2012.
The firm is expanding its operations in electricity production through renewable energy sources.
Electricity produced from the wind farm is estimated to produce more than 20,000,000kW a year, which will generate enough power for 5,500 households.
Daniel Christnach, Enovos Luxembourg head of Renewable Energies & Cogeneration, said more than 9,200t of greenhouse gas emissions will be avoided each year as a result of the clean electricity produced by the site.
