What Alterric does

Alterric GmbH is an onshore wind energy developer and operator headquartered in Aurich, Germany, formed in March 2021 as a 50/50 joint venture between the Aloys Wobben Stiftung (sole shareholder of turbine manufacturer ENERCON) and EWE AG. The company develops, plans, constructs, and operates wind farms across the full asset lifecycle — from landowner lease origination through permitting, turbine procurement, construction, and long-term operation. Core technology centers on modern multi-megawatt onshore turbines (up to 6.8 MW per unit, rotor diameters up to 175 m) sourced manufacturer-independently from suppliers including ENERCON and Nordex, and increasingly paired with photovoltaic modules in hybrid parks that combine wind and solar generation on shared grid connections to double nominal output and stabilize seasonal feed-in.

The business operates as a vertically integrated independent power producer (IPP): Alterric holds projects in its own portfolio rather than reselling at ready-to-build, generating long-duration cash flow from green electricity sales under power purchase agreements with utilities and industrial offtakers, supplemented by project development, repowering, and citizen participation services. The current own-portfolio comprises approximately 2,500 MW of installed capacity across 1,100+ turbines, with an additional 11,000 MW development pipeline and at least 1,500 MW of solar in reserve. Revenue and pricing are not publicly disclosed, reflecting negotiated PPA economics. The company maintains a 600-person team across 19 European offices (14 in Germany plus France and Greece), supported by co-development partnerships with regional players such as SOWITEC and WKBO. Strategic intent is codified in a 3.6 billion EUR investment commitment through 2030 to scale capacity to 5 GW.

Revenue model

1. Wind Energy Generation and Sale: Alterric generates revenue through the development, construction, and operation of onshore wind farms. The company sells electricity produced from its wind parks to energy utilities, industrial customers, and through direct marketing. Revenue is generated from the sale of green electricity under long-term power purchase agreements or on the spot market.
2. Project Development Services: The company offers project development services including land acquisition, participation in tenders, takeover of existing wind farms or rights, project development risk management, economic operation, repowering, and participation models. Services are provided to landowners, municipalities, industry partners, and energy utilities.
3. Hybrid Park Development: Development of hybrid wind-solar parks where photovoltaic modules are integrated into existing or new wind farm areas. The company plans, constructs, and operates these hybrid facilities to maximize energy output and grid stability, with at least 1.5 gigawatts of solar projects in development.
