As a pioneer in the German wind energy industry Volkswind looks back to 30 successful years of planning, project development, construction and operational management of onshore wind turbines.
As one of the pioneers in the German wind energy industry we look back to 30 successful years of planning, project development, construction, and operational management of onshore wind turbines. In addition to our key markets in Germany and France, we are also focusing on attractive niche markets.
Volkswind has been one of Europe's leading wind power generators since 1993. Since then we have planned and constructed onshore wind power projects with a total capacity of over 1350 MW. We are one of the top 10 project developers, especially in our core market in France, where we are the leading tender winner.
Ever since we were taken over by the Swiss energy group Axpo in 2015, Volkswind has been even more strongly positioned to continue expanding its pipeline and diversifying its project portfolio. In collaboration with our parent company Axpo, Volkswind is successfully meeting the challenges posed by the changes in the energy sector.
Axpo is a European leader in the marketing of renewable energies and currently markets around 19,700 MW of solar and wind energy on behalf of its customers. Long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) will enable Axpo to achieve further growth in the renewable energies sector. Axpo's expertise in the energy sector and its many years of marketing and industry experience make for a strong strategic partnership in the wind energy sector.
In addition to our previous core markets in Germany and France, Axpo, and Volkswind are also focusing on project developments in Romania and Finland and are continuing to expand our technical operations and asset management services.
