What Prokon Regenerative Energien Eg does

Prokon Regenerative Energien eG is a German registered cooperative (eingetragene Genossenschaft, eG) founded in 1995 that develops, owns, and operates onshore wind energy assets across Europe. The cooperative serves approximately 40,000 members and supplies around 20,000 households with green electricity, operating more than 400 wind turbines across 71 wind parks in Germany and abroad, with international subsidiaries in Poland (since 2007), Finland (since 2011), and Spain (since 2021). Reported operational availability stands at 97%, and management has set a 2030 production target of 2 TWh.

The cooperative's revenue model combines wholesale electricity generation from its wind portfolio with direct-to-consumer green-electricity tariffs for German households, supplemented by repowering services and increasingly solar PV generation (e.g., Solarpark Walshausen). Asset financing is supported by member equity and a EUR 500M (EUR 410M outstanding) bond issued in 2016 with a 2030 maturity, with the company also listed on the Hanseatic Stock Exchange Hamburg. Governance follows the one-member-one-vote cooperative principle, with Dr. Henning von Stechow serving as CEO since 2016 and chairman since 2021.

Prokon emerged from insolvency proceedings in 2014 and was restructured into its current cooperative form in 2015, an event that has shaped its member-centric capital structure and conservative growth posture. Recent strategic activity — including the Fleetmark repowering project, the Dennin II wind park, the Tante Enso distribution partnership, a self-marketing member program, and entry into utility-scale solar — points to incremental diversification of both generation mix and go-to-market channels while preserving the core onshore wind operating model.
