Management

In order to ensure that we can continuously guarantee the highest quality and reliability, we attach great importance to trusting and transparent communication within our teams and with all stakeholders. 

Challenges motivate us.

A global climate-neutral energy supply is a goal not just of the global climate protection agreement, but also our vision. As a Clean Energy Solutions Provider, we are committed to the energy transition and to climate protection with everything that we have at our disposal. Thanks to our experience as project developers in the field of renewable energy, we are extremely familiar with the energy market in all of its facets.

Our success proves us right: Following our clear strategy, we generate energy on our own wind farms and PV system, achieving significant scale as an independent power producer (IPP). Our SDAX and TecDAX-listed share offers an excellent investment in a company with outstanding performance in the renewable energy sector. 

In order to ensure that we can continuously guarantee the highest quality and reliability, we attach great importance to trusting and transparent communication within our teams and with all stakeholders. We are managed by an ever-curious, results-oriented leadership team
