What Projekt does

Projekt Firmengruppe is an owner-managed German renewable energy project developer founded in 1993 in Oldenburg by Ubbo de Witt. Operating through a group structure of wholly-owned subsidiaries (Projekt GmbH for project development, Projekt Ökovest GmbH for financing, WindWerte Kapitalanlagen GmbH for green investment products), the company provides end-to-end wind and solar energy services spanning site identification, permitting (BImSchG), financing, construction management, and long-term technical operation management.

The company's core technology stack combines traditional wind energy engineering with a proprietary Condition Monitoring System (CMS) software called cmEXPERT, developed in-house for vibration-based monitoring of turbine drive trains. The firm operates six prototype turbines on the DEWI (Deutsches Windenergie-Institut) test field in Wilhelmshaven — described as the largest independent prototype operator in the industry — providing manufacturer-neutral operational data across turbine types. Portfolio scale includes 1.2 GW in active development pipeline, 650+ MW financed and marketed, 275+ MW under technical operation management, and 100+ MW in own portfolio in Lower Saxony.

Projekt's business model is primarily B2B and project-based, serving German municipalities, listed corporations, public utilities, banks, asset managers, and landowners. Revenue streams include professional services for project development, managed services for ongoing operation management with 24/7 monitoring, electricity sales from own portfolio operations, and green investment products structured through WindWerte for institutional and retail investors (including a 2017-launched crowdinvesting platform). The company is internationally diversified with subsidiaries in Poland (Ekovest Polska, 2002), Brazil (Ecoprojeto, 2002), and Cape Verde (Ecoproject Cabo Verde), with notable reference projects including the offshore Sandbank 24 wind farm (up to 480 MW, later sold to Vattenfall in 2011) and Cape Verde 1.3 MWp solar + 1.6 MWh battery system for TUI's Robinson Club Kapverden.
