What Deutsche Windtechnik does

Deutsche Windtechnik AG is a privately held German Aktiengesellschaft headquartered in Bremen, founded in 2007, and the world's largest independent service provider for wind turbines. The company delivers manufacturer-independent, multi-brand operations and maintenance (O&M) for both onshore and offshore wind farms, covering all major turbine platforms including Vestas, Siemens, Senvion, Nordex, Enercon, and Mitsubishi. As of 2024, more than 13 GW and 7,900+ wind turbines were under service across approximately 2,700 employees operating in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Poland, Sweden, the UK, the USA, and Taiwan. The core service portfolio spans scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, large component replacement, spare parts supply, rotor blade services including the proprietary BBG+R blade bearing monitoring system, remote data monitoring, drone inspections, repowering, and technical asset management.
