Greenwind

What Greenwind does

Greenwind Group is an independent, founder-owned renewable energy company headquartered in Berlin that develops, constructs, and operates wind and solar PV parks across Germany, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. Founded in 2008 and operating under independent owner-management since 2011 by co-founders Martin Kühl and Manuel Lasse, the company serves municipalities, landowners, wind farm operators, and industrial/commercial customers through a vertically integrated service stack organized across seven wholly-owned subsidiaries covering project development, construction, technical and commercial operations management, engineering services, and innovation. The company employs over 140 specialists and maintains offices in Berlin (headquarters), Lübeck, and Rostock.

The technology stack centers on Technical Operations Management (TOM) delivered through a 24/7 control center — the 'greenwind control' — which monitors more than 360 wind energy plants exceeding 600 MW across Europe, with coverage now extending into Hungary and Poland. Specialized engineering capabilities include rotor balancing, vibration analysis, blade angle measurement, and noise optimization across 140+ turbine types based on operational data from 2,000+ turbines. The innovation arm is developing green hydrogen production via the TH2ECO project, which includes a planned 10 MW 'ELY' electrolyzer in Dachwig, Thuringia, supported by €15 million in BMDV national hydrogen program funding, alongside battery energy storage systems and municipal heat transition planning services.

Revenue is generated through a mix of one-off project development and construction contracts, recurring managed services for technical and commercial operations, asset management fees, specialized measurement services, and direct renewable energy supply to industrial customers via PPAs. The company maintains a sales-led B2B go-to-market targeting enterprise customers, municipalities, and government entities through direct field sales, an inside sales function, and strategic co-development partnerships (including aventron, dHb Solarsysteme, and the TH2ECO consortium). Recent certifications include ISO 9001:2015 (quality), ISO 45001:2023 (occupational health and safety), and ISO 27001 (information security), plus the ThEGA Siegel für faire Windenergie (Fair Wind Energy Seal).

Direct peers

• PNE AG: Listed German wind and solar project developer with international footprint. Operates a similar full-lifecycle model from development through operations management and is a direct competitor for German onshore wind sites.
• Energiekontor AG: German wind and solar developer, constructor, and operator with project development, EPC, and power sales activities. Direct comparable in scale, service breadth, and German-market focus.
• JUWI GmbH: German renewable energy project developer (wind, solar, hybrid) majority-owned by MVV Energie. Directly comparable in project development and EPC services for German municipalities and commercial customers.
• ABO Wind AG: German independent wind and solar project developer with comparable lifecycle service model (development, construction, operations). Both are owner-managed/mid-sized private-or-closely-held firms focused on onshore wind in Germany and selected international markets.
• Enertrag AG: German wind developer and operator with strong hydrogen and sector-coupling focus, similar to Greenwind's Innovation subsidiary. Direct comparable in wind + hydrogen strategy and DACH operating footprint.
• wpd AG: European onshore wind and solar developer/operator headquartered in Germany. Comparable project development, construction, and asset management services across multiple European geographies.

Broad incumbents

• Encavis AG: Listed German solar and wind Independent Power Producer (IPP) operating a multi-GW portfolio. Competes for the same German projects and operates acquired wind/solar assets, but at substantially larger scale and with public-market capital.
• RWE Renewables: Major European utility with a large onshore/offshore wind and solar development pipeline. Competes for German project sites and grid-scale renewable contracts, but at fundamentally different scale and balance sheet capacity.
• BayWa r.e. renewable energy GmbH: Larger subsidiary of BayWa AG active in wind, solar, and energy trading globally. Overlaps in German project development and operations management but operates at materially larger scale and with broader geographic reach.

Regional players

• Vattenfall AB: State-owned Swedish utility with growing onshore wind and hydrogen operations in Northern Europe. Comparable in the Nordic footprint where Greenwind has Danish and Swedish activity, but with vastly greater capital resources.
