RTS Wind

What RTS Wind does

RTS Wind AG, founded in 1997 and headquartered in Bremen, Germany, is a wind energy technical services provider operating under the umbrella of the privately held RTS Wind Group. The company delivers an integrated portfolio of services to wind farm operators and wind turbine original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), spanning onshore and offshore wind assets across 44 countries on five continents. Its four core service pillars are: (1) Service & Wartung (operations and maintenance of wind turbines), (2) Onshore Projekte (upgrades, retrofits, construction, and major component exchange), (3) Rotorblatt Service (rotor blade inspection, repair, surface work, corrosion protection, and lightning protection), and (4) Personnel Solutions (temporary staffing and leasing of qualified technicians). Supporting these are specialized offerings including high-voltage and extra-high-voltage engineering, GWO-certified training programs, and a 24/7/365 emergency control room.

The company employs approximately 450 technicians and administrative staff, with operations supported by offices in Bremen (multiple sites) and Himberg, Austria. Service delivery relies on rope access techniques — including a proprietary electronic winch device branded the Rope Moped (Seilmoped) — combined with multi-disciplinary expertise across turbine types (ENERCON E82 to E126 and Vestas platforms documented). GTM is enterprise-led: direct field service teams deploy to customer wind farms via long-term OEM and operator agreements, supplemented by trade fair presence at WindEnergy Hamburg and Husum Wind.

The revenue model is a mix of (i) managed-service contracts for recurring maintenance, (ii) professional services for project-based work and component exchange, (iii) personnel leasing billed on time-bound deployments, and (iv) training revenue. Named OEM relationships include Vestas — for which RTS Wind received the Vestas NCE Supplier Award 2025 for Best Supplier for Service — and ENERCON. In March 2026 the group installed a new CEO (Kevin Jones, ex-Skyborn Renewables / Vattenfall) and CCO (Alexandra Richards), relocated to a new Bremen headquarters, and unified the brand identity in May 2026, signaling an investment in the next phase of commercial scale.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Bilfinger: German-headquartered industrial services group with a renewables/wind service practice delivering maintenance, blade repair, and HV services comparable to RTS's capabilities.
• ENERCON: German-based wind OEM that is also a core RTS customer; operates its own service organization across turbine types E82 to E126 and competes for service work on its installed base.
• GE Vernova (incl. LM Wind Power): Global wind OEM (and former LM Wind Power, now blade manufacturing business) with a service arm servicing its installed base and competing for blade repair/maintenance work.
• Nordex: Major European wind OEM (Nordex/Acciona-Nordex) with a large service division that performs blade repair, retrofits, and O&M overlapping directly with RTS Wind's service portfolio.
• Siemens Gamesa (Siemens Energy): Global wind OEM with significant dedicated service business for both onshore and offshore turbines, providing a competing full-service offering to operators.
• Vestas: Global #1 wind OEM operates an extensive captive service organization that both competes with and procures from RTS; overlaps directly in blade service, O&M, and major component exchange.

Others

• Skyborn Renewables: Independent offshore wind operator and the previous employer of RTS's CEO Kevin Jones; a key customer segment for RTS service work and a useful operational benchmark rather than a direct service competitor.
• Vattenfall: Major European utility and offshore wind operator and prior employer of CEO Kevin Jones; competes with RTS indirectly by running in-house O&M teams but also procures specialist service support.

Direct peers

• Global Wind Service: Danish-headquartered independent wind turbine service specialist offering installation, blade repair, and O&M across onshore and offshore markets — closely comparable to RTS Wind's onshore/offshore services and personnel model.

Emerging players

• DNV: Independent assurance and certification firm with growing wind O&M advisory, blade inspection, and asset management practices that overlap with RTS's HV and QHSE-adjacent offerings.
