What Wind1000 does
Wind1000 is the Spanish operating entity (Santiago de Compostela) within the FairWind group, a privately held global provider of wind turbine lifecycle services founded in 2008 and headquartered in Vejle, Denmark. The company delivers installation and preassembly, preventive and corrective operations & maintenance, decommissioning and repowering, and technician training across onshore and offshore wind farms. Its customer base spans three enterprise segments: wind farm developers, OEMs (including Siemens Gamesa, Enercon, and Vestas on named projects such as Stavro in Sweden, Nichel and Hiddum, and Sanquhar II), and asset owners requiring long-term operational support.
Service delivery is built around a globally distributed workforce of more than 2,200 technicians, supported by an in-house training facility (European Wind Academy in Szczecin, Poland), SPRAT-certified rope-access training through its Rope Partner alliance, and an international supply chain. Operating entities span Europe, the Americas, Asia Pacific, Africa, Central Asia, and the Middle East, with named offices in 17+ cities including Hamburg, Vejle, Spring (Texas), Brisbane, Toronto, Helsinki, Stockholm, Breda, Istanbul, Taipei, and São Paulo region. The company has serviced or installed more than 11,750 wind turbines cumulatively since inception.
Revenue is generated through professional services contracts sold via direct enterprise field sales to developers, OEMs, and asset owners. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated contract-by-contract. GTM motion is enterprise-led with global account coverage segmented regionally (NCE sales, Spain, North America, APAC), supplemented by strategic partnerships (Cosmic Group in APAC, Rope Partner in the Americas) that extend reach without full local entity build-out. The company is privately held with no disclosed parent, institutional investors, or funding rounds, although an Investor Relations page on the corporate website signals some form of external ownership structure.
