Eurowind Energy has secured three onshore wind farms totalling 70 MW in Germany’s latest onshore wind auction. The projects comprise ten turbines of 7 MW each and will now move into the construction phase.
The Danish developer said the awards move the projects from its roughly 5 GW German development pipeline into delivery. Eurowind currently has 15 projects with a combined 284 MW under construction in Germany alone, where it runs six offices and around 120 staff, with its national headquarters in Hamburg.
The company noted that the German onshore market is under growing pressure. Falling auction prices — recently around 5 cents per kilowatt-hour — combined with high land lease costs and rising construction expenses have left a growing number of permitted projects unbuilt. A capital partnership with Blackstone has provided funding for project acquisitions and construction.
“The successful awards confirm our project portfolio and show that we are well positioned to help shape the energy transition in Germany,” said David Christopher Stahl, managing director of Eurowind Energy GmbH. He added that the company is recruiting for project development and EPC/construction roles and is looking to acquire stalled projects for repowering.
Founded in Hobro, Denmark, in 2006, Eurowind Energy employs more than 700 people across 15 European countries and works in wind, solar, hydrogen, biogas, power-to-heat and battery storage. Germany remains one of Europe’s largest renewable energy markets and a key arena for developers active around the Baltic Sea.
