What WIND-projekt does

WIND-projekt Ingenieur- und Projektentwicklungsgesellschaft mbH is a German renewable energy project developer and operational manager headquartered in Rostock (Warnemünde), Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Founded in 1994, the firm specializes in end-to-end wind energy project development — site assessment, permitting, construction management, and commissioning — alongside a manufacturer-independent operational management service that runs 24/7 monitoring, maintenance coordination, regulatory compliance, and reporting for third-party operators. The company has expanded beyond onshore wind into solar PV (200+ MW planned and implemented), offshore wind (Baltic I and II, 101 turbines), green hydrogen production via the RH2-WKA system at Grapzow (3 electrolysers), green mobility infrastructure, and energy consulting for municipalities and commercial clients.

The firm's core technology stack combines turbine hardware integration (Nordex, ENERCON, Siemens Gamesa) with operational systems including transponder-based demand-responsive night marking (BNK via Lanthan Safe Sky) and a hybrid tower collaboration with Nordex on the N175/6.X at Santow (Germany's tallest onshore turbine at 266.5 m total height). Notable first-of-kind deployments include Germany's first offshore wind turbine (Breitling, 2006), the first wind-hydrogen plant in M-V (Grapzow, 2013), and the first BNK system in M-V at Papenhagen-Ost.

WIND-projekt generates revenue through a mix of episodic project development fees (site acquisition, permitting, construction management) and recurring operational management fees across its 400 MW under contract, supplemented by repowering services, energy consulting, and electricity marketing/grid management (including Redispatch 2.0). Its go-to-market is relationship-driven enterprise and municipal sales across Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, anchored by community participation models (e.g., Ravensberg-Krempin since 1999) and direct partnerships with municipalities (Wittenhagen, Altentreptow, Carinerland) and tier-1 manufacturers. The company employs 11-50 people and remains privately held with no disclosed funding rounds or external investment.

Revenue model

1. Renewable Energy Project Development & Planning: WIND-projekt develops wind and solar energy projects from initial site analysis and feasibility studies through permitting and construction management, earning development fees and project margins. Projects range from single turbines to large wind farms and hybrid installations.
2. Operational Management (Technical & Commercial): Ongoing 24/7 monitoring and management of wind turbines and solar plants under operational management, generating recurring fees. Covers online monitoring, maintenance coordination, regulatory compliance, reporting, and optimization over the plant lifecycle (20+ years for solar, full operational life for wind).
3. Repowering Services: Replacement of older wind turbines with modern, higher-capacity models at existing wind farm sites, generating project development and management revenue.
4. Energy Consulting: Advisory services for municipalities, companies, and organizations on sustainable energy supply, including consumption analysis, savings potential identification, and renewable energy roadmap development.
5. Electricity Marketing & Grid Management: Identification of solutions for electricity distribution and marketing, including settlement of electricity revenues, Redispatch 2.0 assignments, and land lease arrangements for project operators.

Core offering

WIND-projekt plans, develops, and technically operates renewable energy projects — primarily onshore wind parks, photovoltaic systems, and pilot green-hydrogen/e-mobility infrastructure — across Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and northern Germany. The company provides full lifecycle services from site assessment, permitting, and construction supervision through to 24/7 manufacturer-independent operational management, repowering of older turbines, and energy consulting for municipalities, utilities, and commercial clients.

Product overview

WIND-projekt is a renewable energy project developer and operator offering an integrated portfolio of services centered on wind energy, solar energy, and hydrogen technologies. The core offering consists of project planning and development for wind and solar installations, supplemented by manufacturer-independent operational management services. The product suite includes specialized services for repowering aging wind farms, energy consulting for municipalities and businesses, green hydrogen systems (via the RH2-WKA innovation project), and green mobility infrastructure development. The company also develops integrated energy concepts combining electricity, heat, and mobility sectors (Sektorenkopplung), supported by innovation and pilot projects. Services are delivered as consulting and project management offerings rather than a traditional software platform.
