With the power of nature
As a pioneer in wind energy and an independent, owner-managed Berlin-based company, we have been developing, operating and financing regional wind energy and photovoltaic projects for over 25 years.
With our comprehensive carefree services and our reliable network of partners, we focus on maximum CO₂ avoidance.
We provide comprehensive support for your wind or photovoltaic project, from the initial concept through to commissioning. Our services ensure meticulous planning and execution of all construction stages, guaranteeing efficient processes and timely completion for a sustainable and future-proof energy supply.
As a partner for all phases of project development, we are committed to delivering quality, innovative solutions that ensure long-term success. Our comprehensive approach considers technical, ecological and social factors. For example,
we collaborate closely with communities and regional partners to generate optimal benefits for all stakeholders, including those involved in the energy transition.
We provide a comprehensive range of services, from site selection through to realisation. Our experienced team is responsible for comprehensive planning, coordinating all necessary approvals, and ensuring seamless integration into the electricity grid. We collaborate closely with local partners and communities to guarantee that each project is not only technically but also economically and environmentally sustainable.
Our technical and commercial management of wind and solar parks, conducted through our subsidiary windpunx, ensures the smooth operation of the wind turbines. We guarantee maximum availability and performance through proactive maintenance and continuous monitoring. This enables us to tailor our services to the specific needs of each project.
Our repowering services enable us to upgrade existing wind parks to the latest, state-of-the-art technology. By replacing old turbines with modern, more powerful ones, we achieve a significant increase in energy generation, boost profitability and extend the lifetime of the project.
It is our responsibility to address the fears and concerns of citizens seriously and reduce them through transparent information and personal dialogue. We attend town festivals, town council meetings and information events with the objective of providing an explanation of our plans and raising awareness of the benefits of renewable energies.
For over 25 years, we have been a leading provider of wind turbine generators (WTG´s) planning, financing and realisation services in Germany. Over this period, we have developed 400 turbines with a total capacity of 810 MW. We act as the operator of the WTG´s directly, while our subsidiary windpunx handles the commercial and technical management. Together, we currently operate 78 turbines with a total capacity of approximately 190 MW.
Since 2019, our company has been a reliable provider of photovoltaic solutions, offering both ground-mounted and rooftop PV systems for a diverse range of clients in the industrial and commercial sectors. We work closely with municipalities to meet the needs of people and nature, and offer industry and commerce immediate savings through our risk-free direct supply of clean solar power.
Our hybrid projects combine the strengths of wind and solar energy to optimise energy yield, thereby increasing area efficiency and guaranteeing a constant power supply. The shared infrastructure and maintenance reduce the overall costs of the projects.
Our battery energy storage solution (BESS) allows you to maximise the value of your energy generation, as storage optimises the distribution and use of energy. We provide tailored solutions, ranging from small, local systems to large, grid-stabilising systems. We facilitate an efficient energy transition and ensure the seamless integration of BESS into both existing and new projects.
By repowering existing WTG´s, we can achieve a significant increase in energy yield. Furthermore, we can often reduce the amount of land required for the project, as we can decrease the number of turbines while still increasing the total capacity. Our extensive experience allows us to complete the permitting process efficiently, providing you with peace of mind and attractive long-term returns.
By accelerating the energy transition and ensuring a continued supply of clean electricity, we can reduce CO₂ emissions and significantly minimise our ecological footprint. This is our most important objective, both in the short and long term.
Project development, plant operation and operational management – everything from a single source.
Examination of the fundamental feasibility of the project.
Site selection (analysis of potential areas)
- Determination of the potential area taking into account the state-specific requirements (such as regional plans, wind priority areas, privileged areas, etc.)
- Selection of a suitable location based on wind and sun conditions, access infrastructure and environmental conditions
Area protection
Securing the land used or required for the construction and operation of the projects (with the exception of the land required for the cable route, the transformer station and the grid connection point)
Earnings forecast
Calculation of expected revenue from the sale of generated electricity based on energy forecasts and feed-in tariffs or power purchase agreements (PPAs).
- Environmental impact assessment: Conducting studies to assess the environmental impact of the project.
- Obtaining permits: Applying for and obtaining all necessary permits and licenses from local, regional and national authorities.
Once the project has achieved Ready to Build (RtB) status; tenders will be conducted for key services and suppliers
- Tendering: Selection of suppliers and service providers for the delivery of wind turbines, construction services and other required components.
- Award of contract: Closing of contracts with the selected companies.
- Financing: Preparation of a detailed financing plan and securing of financing.
- Development of participation models for the involvement of municipalities and citizens.
- Development: Construction of access roads and foundations.
- Delivery and installation: Delivery and installation of the wind turbines, including transportation of the individual components (rotor blades, tower segments, nacelles) and delivery and installation of the solar modules and inverters.
- Grid connection: Construction of the necessary infrastructure for connection to the electricity grid, including substations and cable routes.
Following a series of trial runs and the successful completion of the acceptance process, the systems are put into operation.
- Power generation
- Regular operation: Monitoring and control of the systems during operation.
- Maintenance and servicing: Regular maintenance and servicing of the systems to guarantee optimal operation.
- Completion of agreed compensation measures
Current projects in the field of renewables
Our focus on renewable energy is a conscious and strategic choice, both to reflect our DNA and to strengthen our position in a market that is not only economically, but also socially and environmentally important.
* SAXOVENT has been involved in the development of these projects at various stages, including the operation of the plants as an IPP (Independent Power Producer).
The expected energy production of the plants developed by SAXOVENT is estimated on the basis of their installed total capacity and an average number of full load hours, regardless of SAXOVENT’s ownership share. The average household electricity consumption of one person is 1,613 kWh in 2022 (Eurostat).
The potential avoided greenhouse gas emissions are calculated from the amount of electricity generated and the so-called ‘net avoidance factor’. This indicates how many CO2 equivalents – taking into account upstream chains – are avoided by wind energy per kilowatt hour generated. The calculation is based on the report ‘Emissions balance of renewable energy sources’ published by the German Federal Environment Agency. Calculation of avoided emissions in 2022′. The net avoidance factor for 2022 is 758 g CO2-eq./kWh.
