The 60%-owned Windpark Titting joint venture with NaturEnergy (a NATURSTROM AG subsidiary) added 8 turbines / 21.5 MW in 2021. In operations management, the company provides both technical services (monitoring, fault management, documentation, reporting) and commercial services (financial management, billing, insurance, investor relations) to third-party wind and PV operators, covering 35 wind turbines (49.6 MW) across 15 wind parks and 8 PV installations (8.1 MWp), with more than 50 renewable energy installations under commercial management.
