Paris, 20 February, 2025 – Qair, an independent European renewable energy company, has secured a contract to develop a 61.2 MW wind farm in Germany’s Baden-Württemberg Länder. Awarded through a recent tender by ForstBW, the state’s forestry agency, this project marks a significant step forward in advancing Germany’s energy transition while strengthening Qair’s multi-local and multi-energy strategy.
Supporting Germany’s Renewable Energy Goals
The wind farm, consisting of nine turbines, is expected to generate approximately 150,000 megawatt-hours (MWh) of clean electricity annually – enough to power around 40,000 households in the region.
Germany has set ambitious renewable energy targets, aiming for at least 80% of electricity generation from renewables by 2030. Recent policy developments, including the Easter Package (Osterpaket) of 2022, have accelerated the permitting process and increased tender volumes for wind and solar projects through 2028/29. Additionally, measures such as the community benefit scheme ensure that municipalities hosting wind farms receive a direct share of revenues, enhancing local acceptance. With the planned coal phase-out by 2030, the demand for renewable projects and energy storage solutions is greater than ever.
A European Vision: Scaling Renewable Solutions Across Markets
Qair’s expansion in Germany aligns with its broader European strategy to deliver comprehensive and diversified renewable solutions. Beyond wind and solar, energy storage is an essential pillar of Qair’s approach, ensuring grid stability and balancing intermittent power generation.
Through its local team of 95 experts, Qair operates 31 MW of wind and solar assets in Germany and is actively developing a pipeline of over 600 MW. This includes two wind farms totaling over 43 MW and a 22 MW solar farm under construction, and the 194 MW Altötting project, set to become the largest wind farm in Bavaria. Qair is also advancing storage projects across Germany.
Qair’s Commitment to a Decarbonized Europe
This latest award in Germany reinforces Qair’s strategic ambition to strengthen its presence in the most advanced European renewable energy markets. With an established footprint in France, Poland, Iceland, Italy, Spain, Romania, Greece, and the United Kingdom, Qair continues to scale its renewable portfolio, integrating wind, solar, and storage technologies to meet the growing demand for clean energy.
By adopting a comprehensive, multi-energy approach, Qair is not only contributing to Germany’s energy transition but also positioning itself as a leading force in Europe’s shift towards a low-carbon future. The Group remains on track to achieve its target of 3 GW of installed capacity by 2027, solidifying its role as a key player in shaping Europe’s energy landscape.
