What wind-turbine.com does

wind-turbine.com GmbH, founded in 2012 and headquartered in Gelnhausen, Germany, operates an international B2B marketplace for the wind energy industry, connecting wind park operators, investors, project developers, service providers, and turbine traders across more than 150 countries. The platform supports trading of operational wind parks, used wind turbines, project rights, pre-screened wind areas, and spare parts, and is delivered in approximately 10 languages with automatic translation of listings and queries to facilitate cross-border transactions.

The product surface combines a self-service marketplace with a suite of free digital tools — most notably the Wertermittlung valuation tool, the Rückbau-Kosten Rechner decommissioning cost calculator, the Windkraftanlagenkarte interactive map of all wind turbines in Germany, the Betreiberverzeichnis operator directory, the Vermarktungs-Check sales score, the Zweitmarkt Barometer secondary-market barometer, and the Windpark Cockpit — underpinned by over 10 years of proprietary market movement data and more than 11 billion EUR in documented transaction volume. The company also operates wind-turbine.com Consulting (WTC), a professional brokerage service for complex transactions, and is a founding partner of the Windenergie.Macher HUB service-provider ecosystem.

Monetization mixes freemium marketplace listings with three paid streams: pay-per-lead fees on pre-qualified inquiries, a Professional subscription at 269 EUR/month (6-month minimum), and individualized success-based fees through WTC consulting. The business remains founder-owned under Managing Director Bernd Weidmann with a very small team (1-10 employees), no disclosed external funding, and reported community scale of 15,000+ registered users and 12,000+ buyers and sellers.
