K&S Ingenieurpartnerschaft Krug & Schram

What K&S Ingenieurpartnerschaft Krug & Schram does

K&S Ingenieurpartnerschaft Krug & Schram is a Munich-based independent engineering partnership (PartG) founded in 2009 and operational since 2010 that provides Technical Due Diligence (TDD), technical inspection, and technical advisory services for utility-scale wind, solar, and battery energy storage (BESS) projects. The firm has examined more than 20 GW of renewable energy capacity (28+ GW per its references page) across 892+ projects in 31 countries, with service pillars comprising Wind-TDD, Solar-TDD, and BESS-TDD, complemented by Technische Prüfung (condition analysis, thermography, drone inspection, lightning protection testing, SCADA analysis, warranty inspections) and Technische Beratung (Owner's Engineering, Construction Monitoring, Energy Yield Assessments, contract review, and Lender's Technical Advisory).

The business is a pure professional services firm with no proprietary software, hardware, or recurring SaaS component. Engagements are bespoke, scoped per asset or portfolio, and priced individually; revenue is generated entirely through fee-for-service mandates. Capabilities rest on engineering methodologies (ELV/electroluminescence measurement, infrared thermography, drone-based rotor-blade inspection, Condition Based Monitoring evaluation, PVsyst-based yield modelling) and the founders' prior sector experience at GE, Siemens, ENRON, Shell, and Renerco/BayWa, rather than on patent-protected technology. Distribution is exclusively direct enterprise sales, supplemented by SEO-structured service pages, technical blog content, industry event presence, and bank-panel referrals. K&S is listed as an approved Technical Advisor with major European lenders including KfW IPEX-Bank, NORD/LB, Hamburg Commercial Bank, ING, and Sparkasse Holstein.
