Press release from 19 July 2024

Bremen, 19 July 2024 – Energiekontor AG (“Energiekontor”), a leading German project developer and operator of wind and solar parks listed in the General Standard, has received further building permits for four wind park projects with a total generation volume of around 160 megawatts in Germany and Scotland during the summer months, and thus successfully expanded its project pipeline.  

In Germany, Energiekontor has recently obtained building permits for a wind park project in the west of North Rhine-Westphalia. This wind park is expected to have a total generation capacity of approximately 11 megawatts. Previously, in June 2024, Energiekontor was granted building permission for a wind park project in eastern Brandenburg with a total nominal power of 48 megawatts.

In addition to the aforementioned wind park projects in Germany, Energiekontor also received building permits for two wind park projects in the south of Scotland at the beginning of July 2024. Both wind parks are expected to contribute a total generation capacity of 50 megawatts each to electricity generation from renewable energy sources in the future.

”The building permits for these four wind parks in Germany and Scotland represent a significant achievement for our company, enabling us to continue pursuing our growth strategy successfully. We are pleased to be able to reinforce our position as a project developer and operator of wind parks in our national markets of Germany and Scotland with these four wind parks”, says Peter Szabo, CEO of Energiekontor AG.

The half-year results 2024 of Energiekontor AG will be published on 12 August 2024. The half-year financial report will be available on the website at www.energiekontor.de/en/investor-relations/financial-reports.html.
