What getproject does

getproject GmbH & Co. KG, founded in 1998 in Kiel, Germany, is an independent, full-lifecycle renewable energy developer operating a four-entity group covering wind, photovoltaic, bioenergy, and renewable heat. The group develops, finances, builds, owns, and operates renewable assets across northern Germany (Schleswig-Holstein, Niedersachsen, Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Sachsen-Anhalt), with 94 wind turbines installed totaling 183 MW and over 1,000 MW of additional wind, heat, and storage capacity in planning, permitting, or approved stages.

The company monetizes through five distinct revenue streams: (i) one-time project development and rights sales, (ii) recurring asset ownership and electricity generation via wholly-owned get:power GmbH & Co. KG (founded 2019) and the SOLVENTUS JV with Stadtwerke Kiel, (iii) technical and commercial operations management for third-party wind and bioenergy plants, (iv) subscription-style Wärmeliefer-Contracting via wholly-owned get|2|energy GmbH & Co. KG (founded 2014), and (v) management fees and carried interest from citizen participation financial products (Kommanditbeteiligung from €5,000, Nachrangdarlehen from €500, Strombonus €75–100/year). Pricing for heat contracting is contractual and undisclosed; citizen investment yields include 4.5% p.a. on 5-year subordinated loans.

Underlying the bioenergy pillar is the proprietary BtE® (Biomass to Energy) process — a European-patented system that converts halmgutartige Biomasse (grass, green waste, landscape conservation material) into DIN ISO 17225-T6 Class A fuel pellets and biogas, operated by Bi.En GmbH & Co. KG (founded 2009). The process achieves up to 70% combined energy efficiency using the patent-protected JOHANN2 roller press, which delivers up to 90% energy savings versus conventional dewatering. getproject's go-to-market is hybrid: community-led citizen investment and events for retail/PLZ-locked capital, direct-to-consumer landowner outreach for 25–30 year land leases, and sales-led enterprise engagement with municipalities, housing companies, and utilities such as Stadtwerke Kiel and HanseWerk Natur for heat contracting and PPAs.

Revenue model

1. Project Development & Rights Sales: getproject develops wind, PV, and bioenergy projects from greenfield through permitting, then either retains in own portfolio (via get:power) or sells project rights to third-party developers and investors.
2. Asset Ownership & Electricity Generation: get:power GmbH & Co. KG (founded 2019) holds and operates renewable energy assets in its own portfolio, generating revenue from electricity sales via direct marketing, PPAs, and feed-in tariff arrangements.
3. Technical & Commercial Operations Management: getproject provides technical Betriebsführung (operations management) for third-party wind and bioenergy plants. Services include remote monitoring, maintenance coordination, performance optimization, regulatory compliance, and insurance management.
4. Wärmeliefer-Contracting (Heat Supply Contracting): get|2|energy (founded 2014) designs, finances, builds, and operates renewable heating plants and heat networks. Customers (municipalities, housing companies, public institutions) receive heating energy under long-term supply contracts. Revenue from heat energy sales and potentially biomass pellet sales.
5. Citizen Participation Investment Management: getproject facilitates citizen investment in renewable energy projects via Kommanditbeteiligung (limited partnership), Nachrangdarlehen (subordinated loans), and Strombonus schemes. The company earns management fees and carried interest from these financial products.

Core offering

getproject plans, develops, builds, finances, and operates wind energy farms, ground-mounted photovoltaic parks, and BtE® bioenergy pellet plants in northern Germany, supplying renewable electricity and heat to households, municipalities, utilities, and developers. Through four subsidiaries (Bi.En, get|2|energy, get:power, SOLVENTUS) it covers the full lifecycle from land acquisition and permitting through construction, long-term operations management, Wärmeliefer-Contracting, citizen participation investments, and direct marketing / PPA electricity sales.

Product overview

getproject is a multi-brand renewable energy project developer and operator offering wind energy, solar PV, and bioenergy development, construction, and operations as its core activities. The company is structured as a group with several named subsidiaries: Bi.En (bioenergy and BtE pellet technology), get|2|energy (renewable heat supply and district heating), and get:power (power generation and direct marketing), plus the SOLVENTUS joint venture with Stadtwerke Kiel for solar and wind assets. Citizen participation investment products allow regional residents to co-invest in wind and solar projects via Kommanditbeteiligung through an online investment portal. Technical plant operations management and direct marketing services round out the portfolio. The BtE (Biomass-to-Energy) proprietary process and BtE-Pellets product represent a differentiated bioenergy technology within the group.
