Qualitas Energy to develop more than 250 MW of wind farms in Southern Germany with local partner

The wind farms are currently at different planning stages; three projects are already in the approval process. Qualitas Energy expects to realise the 12 projects between 2023 and 2027. The commissioning of the first project is scheduled for the end of 2023, further projects will follow successively until 2027.

Qualitas Energy Deutschland GmbH is part of the Qualitas Energy Group, which is committed to driving the change towards a decarbonized economy, and focuses on the acquisition, financing, project development, construction, and operation of onshore wind turbines with a team of more than 140 employees at its offices in Berlin, Hamburg, and Wiesbaden. Qualitas Energy is operating more than 40 wind farms in Germany at present.

Nigel Nyirenda, Head of Project Development at Qualitas Energy Deutschland GmbH, commented: "At Qualitas Energy we are driving the expansion of wind power in Germany and for that we rely on long-term cooperation with local actors. We are very pleased that our local partner, who has many years of experience and roots in the region, will support us actively and in close partnership in the further development of the planned projects. Together, we want to unlock even further potential in Baden-Wuerttemberg while we implement attractive acceptance measures for the region, which is fully in line with our principles for successful project development - early, transparent communication and proactive involvement of communities and residents in the development of the projects."

Borja Caruana, Managing Director of Qualitas Energy Deutschland GmbH, added: "Going forward, we will significantly expand our greenfield project pipeline in cooperation with local project developers and invest in wind farm projects at all stages of development and of all sizes."
