Green Wind Energy

What Green Wind Energy does

Green Wind Energy, operating under the greenwind Group brand, is a Berlin-headquartered, founder-owned renewable energy company established in 2008 by Martin Kühl and Manuel Lasse. The group operates across Germany, Denmark, and Sweden with 140+ employees and a portfolio of approximately 360 wind and solar installations totaling roughly 750 MW under management, of which over 600 MW are covered by technical operations management as of early 2025. The company delivers the full renewable energy value chain through a multi-subsidiary structure: Green Wind Energy GmbH handles project development and sales, Green Wind Construction GmbH delivers turnkey EPC services, Green Wind Operations GmbH provides technical and commercial asset management, Green Wind Innovation GmbH & Co. KG leads sector coupling, hydrogen, and municipal heat planning, Green Wind Engineering GmbH offers measurement and technical consulting, WindNOW! GmbH provides turbine maintenance (primarily Vestas and GE), and Green Wind Denmark A/S manages Nordic operations.

The technology stack combines onshore wind and ground-mounted photovoltaic project development, hybrid wind-solar parks with battery energy storage systems (BESS), green hydrogen production (notably the TH2ECO 10 MW electrolyzer project in Thuringia with up to 15 million EUR in federal funding), and a proprietary 24/7 greenwind control room monitoring wind farms, PV parks, substations, and storage systems. The company's business model is diversified across professional services (project development fees, construction management, engineering measurement campaigns), managed services and recurring contracts (technical and commercial operations management, asset management on a fee basis under multi-year contracts), transaction-based revenue (PPAs, direct renewable supply, citizen participation in wind farms), and competitive bids in Bundesnetzagentur tenders. Customer segments span municipalities, industrial and commercial energy users, landowners, wind farm operators and asset owners, citizens via investment participation, and institutional investors such as Palladio Partners. Distribution is primarily direct enterprise sales supported by structured Sales Development and Sales Management teams, plus participation in federal renewable energy auctions.

Directly comparable to Green Wind as a mid-sized independent German renewable developer serving municipalities, landowners, and investors, with similar Bundesnetzagentur tender exposure.
• wpd AG: Bremen-based wind and solar developer with onshore and offshore project development across Europe. Comparable to Green Wind in its full-lifecycle model and German market focus, with similar Bundesnetzagentur auction participation.
• Energiekontor AG: German wind and solar project developer and IPP with a vertically integrated model from development through long-term operations. Comparable to Green Wind in its combination of German project pipeline, power marketing, and recurring operations management revenue.
• PNE AG: German wind and solar project developer operating across project development, construction, operations, and electricity marketing. Listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, it serves as a public-market comparable for an independent German wind IPP/developer of similar scale and vertical scope.

Broad incumbents

• RWE AG: German integrated utility and one of Europe's largest renewable energy operators with major wind, solar, and hydrogen investments. Competes with Green Wind for German onshore wind permits and auctions, with broader geographic footprint and balance sheet.
• Vattenfall AB: Swedish state-owned utility with significant German onshore and offshore wind operations. Directly relevant as a Nordic incumbent active in Germany, comparable to Green Wind's German-Danish-Swedish operating geography and asset management activities.
• EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg: One of Germany's largest integrated utilities with significant onshore wind, offshore wind, and solar generation across Germany. Competes with Green Wind in German Bundesnetzagentur tenders but with vastly larger balance sheet, pipeline, and grid-scale project capacity.
