Energiekontor receives building permits for four wind park projects in Scotland and Germany

Bremen, 31 January 2025 – Energiekontor AG (“Energiekontor”), a leading German project developer and operator of wind and solar parks based in Bremen and listed in the General Standard, was granted building permits for four wind park projects with a total generation capacity of more than 220 megawatts in Scotland and Germany in January 2025, thus further expanding its UK project pipeline in particular.

At the beginning of January 2025, Energiekontor received its first building permit of the current financial year for a wind park project in the north of Scotland. This will have up to 11 wind turbines with a maximum tip height of 200 metres, a total nominal output of around 73 megawatts and an additional battery storage option of five megawatts. A further building permit was granted for a wind park project in the south of Scotland. With up to eight wind turbines, each with a maximum tip height of around 150 metres, the park will have a total generation capacity of around 38 megawatts. A third building permit was also granted for a wind park project in the south of Scotland. This is to comprise up to 14 wind turbines with a maximum tip height of 200 metres each and a total generation capacity of around 98 megawatts. Energiekontor also received a building permit for a wind park project in Lower Saxony, Germany, with a total nominal output of around 15 megawatts.

“This is very good news,” says Peter Szabo, CEO of Energiekontor AG. “The building permits for these four projects are the result of years of planning and intensive work, primarily by our British and German colleagues. This means that our Scottish project pipeline is fuller than ever before. We now have 17 building permits in the United Kingdom with a total capacity of more than 800 megawatts. This represents a valuable contribution towards the expansion of our business and a good start to the new financial year, for which we have a lot planned.”
