What Property of Youwind Renewables does

Youwind Renewables is a private SaaS company, founded in 2018 and headquartered in Barcelona with a registered entity in Iceland, that sells an integrated cloud-based platform for the development of offshore, onshore and increasingly hybrid wind-plus-storage projects. The platform combines engineering, GIS and mapping, financial modeling, wake loss modeling (TurbOPark, N.O. Jensen, Ainslie Eddy Viscosity), a turbine layout optimizer developed through the EU SUDOCO project, foundation modeling for bottom-fixed, floating and onshore structures, and electrical system design, with Vortex ERA5 wind data and a GEBCO bathymetry API available out of the box. Its stated value proposition is to replace fragmented desktop engineering tools with a single collaborative environment that produces 'bankable', validated yield and LCOE outputs usable in offshore wind tenders and long-term investment decisions.

Youwind monetizes primarily through annual named-user subscriptions, with onboarding, training and ongoing expert support included in the fee, and an enterprise field-sales motion built around demo requests and four-step onboarding. Customers include large utilities (Iberdrola, ScottishPower, Naturgy, ESB, TEPCO, Eneos, Inpex), offshore wind developers and consultancies (Parkwind, Copenhagen Offshore Partners, OWC), EPC contractors (Saipem, DEME) and smaller wind developers (Dyna Energy, GreenBreeze, HDF Energy, Jera Nex bp), and the company claims involvement in 20+ awarded offshore wind projects and over 15,000 user-designed scenarios. Geographic reach spans EMEA (Spain, Iceland, Denmark), APAC (Japan, Vietnam, Turkey, Philippines) and LATAM (Mexico via AP Engineering). The company is small (1-10 employees), founder-led by CEO Anna Rivera and CTO Edvald Edvaldsson, and discloses no external funding rounds.

Partnerships

Eleven partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• Shoreline WindcoreTechnology or Integration · 28 May 2026Strategic partnership and product integration connecting early-stage design, yield optimisation and operational planning. Initial use cases enable turbine layout data to move from Youwind to Shoreline, and Shoreline's turbine availability and OPEX outputs to feed back into Youwind's yield and business case analysis. Creates end-to-end digital workflow for wind energy teams.
• VortexcoreTechnology or IntegrationTop-tier data partnership providing accurate wind resource insights. Vortex provides ERA5 wind data with 20 years average and 1km resolution that has been mesoscaled. Partnership includes joint technical workshops in Asian markets (Hanoi) and co-hosting networking events at industry conferences.
• AP EngineeringcoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerPartnership to accelerate wind energy development in Mexico and LATAM. AP Engineering supports lead generation and project development leveraging local knowledge and network. Joint focus on identifying offshore, onshore and BESS project opportunities. Includes capacity building through specialized training programs for governments, universities, and private sector organizations.
• Elbe1minorStrategic or Co-development PartnerCollaboration in context of supervising a master's thesis within Elbe1's Strategy & Bidding activities. Youwind platform used to support early-stage offshore wind screening analyses and assess how digital modelling environments can contribute to structured and transparent bid preparation.
• Global MaritimecoreTechnology or IntegrationEngineering consultancy partnership combining Global Maritime's marine engineering expertise and proprietary software with Youwind's SaaS platform capabilities. Global Maritime uses Youwind to quickly analyse multiple scenarios for different stages and phases of offshore wind development. Ongoing feedback loop drives platform improvements.

Direct peers

• WindPRO (DNV): WindPRO is the dominant enterprise wind farm design and energy yield software, owned by DNV. It directly competes with Youwind across layout design, wake modeling, and financial analysis for offshore and onshore projects, with a much larger installed base at major developers and consultancies.
• Openwind (UL Solutions): Openwind is an open-source-derived wind farm design and resource assessment platform commercialized by UL Solutions (originating from NREL/AWS Truepower). It competes head-to-head with Youwind in early-stage wind farm design, wake modeling, and bankable yield assessment.
• GH WindFarmer (DNV): GH WindFarmer (originally Garrad Hassan) is DNV's flagship wind farm design and analysis tool used by major OEMs and developers. It overlaps directly with Youwind's engineering and layout optimization capabilities for utility-scale wind projects.
• WindSim: WindSim is a CFD-based wind resource and wind farm simulation software widely used by consultants and developers. It is comparable to Youwind's wind resource assessment and wake modeling modules, particularly for complex terrain and offshore sites.
• WAsP (DTU Wind Energy): WAsP is the industry-standard wind resource assessment tool developed by DTU Wind Energy. It competes with Youwind's wind resource assessment module and is widely used by developers and consultancies for site screening and yield estimation.
• Meteodyn: Meteodyn provides CFD-based wind resource assessment and wind farm micro-siting software. Its WT product directly competes with Youwind in wind resource modeling, particularly for complex terrain and onshore projects.
• ReSoft EMD: ReSoft's EMD (Energy Management Designer) is a wind farm design and optimization tool used by developers and consultancies. It competes with Youwind across wind farm layout, energy yield calculation, and financial analysis.

Emerging players

• RatedPower (Aurora Solar): RatedPower is a cloud-based SaaS platform for utility-scale solar PV and BESS plant design, with a similar horizontal SaaS model and target customers (developers, EPCs, consultancies). Now part of Aurora Solar, it is a strong analog for Youwind's go-to-market in a sister renewables vertical.

Others

• Vortex: Vortex is Youwind's core wind-resource data partner (ERA5, 1km mesoscaled data) and a global wind data provider to the wind industry. It is adjacent rather than directly competing, but its data assets are a strategic input to Youwind's platform.
• Shoreline Wind: Shoreline Wind is an operational planning and decision-support platform for wind farms that recently announced a strategic product integration with Youwind. It is adjacent (design vs. operations) rather than directly competitive, and together the two form an end-to-end digital workflow.
