What Boreas does

BOREAS Energie GmbH is a privately held German renewable energy company founded in 1989 and headquartered in Dresden, operating across four European countries (Germany, France, Netherlands, and Spain) through 13 office locations and dedicated subsidiaries. The company plans, builds, finances, operates, and markets wind power, photovoltaic, biogas, and energy storage installations, having built 553 wind turbines representing 1,300 MW of installed capacity and generating approximately 2.5 TWh annually — enough to supply around 3 million people with electricity.

The company's core technology is its full-lifecycle renewable energy project development and operational management platform, anchored by a 24/7 control center, specialist technical management expertise in Vestas turbines and legacy models (Frisia, NEG Micon, Vensys, Nordtank), the ROTORSoft performance monitoring platform, and BNK cluster integration for grid regulatory compliance. Technical management, commercial management, and asset management services provide recurring managed-service revenue, while project development fees, construction management, financing arrangement, and energy marketing generate transaction-based revenue streams.

BOREAS sells exclusively through direct enterprise sales targeting four primary segments: communities and municipalities seeking energy independence, farmers and agricultural landowners benefiting from land lease arrangements, corporate investors with multi-decade retention, and regional utilities (Stadtwerke) for grid-connected supply. The company positions itself as a moderator reconciling ecological, economic, and community interests in renewable energy development, with four executive directors (Jörg Kuntzsch, Manuela Jentzsch, Uwe Berg, and Reymond Kretschmer) managing the group and a French subsidiary led by Simon Maurice-Demourioux.
