EQS-News: Energiekontor AG: Further financial close achieved for Bützfleth wind project

Further financial close achieved for Bützfleth wind project

Bremen, 20 March 2026 – Energiekontor AG (“Energiekontor”), a leading German project developer and operator of wind and solar parks based in Bremen and listed in the General Standard, has reached financial close for the Bützfleth wind project. The wind project is now ready for construction.

Following Energiekontor’s successful participation in the Federal Network Agency’s EEG tender in May 2025 with the Bützfleth wind project, which had already received planning permission, the project recently reached financial close. According to the current schedule, the wind park, which is earmarked for sale, is expected to commence operations at the end of 2027.

Three wind turbines from the manufacturer Enercon, each with a nominal power of 5.6 megawatts (totalling around 17 megawatts), will be erected at the site in the district of Stade in Lower Saxony, Germany. The hub height of the E160-EP5 E3 turbines is 120 metres and the rotor diameter is 160 metres. From the first full year of operation, the average expected annual yield of the wind park will be around 53 gigawatt-hours – enough to supply more than 16,000 average households with renewable electricity and save around 40,000 tonnes of CO₂ per year.

The region also benefits from numerous measures designed to offset the impact on the natural environment. These include the creation of an around 43-hectare area intended to serve as a resting and feeding ground for geese, particularly white-fronted geese.

“With the successful financial close of the Bützfleth wind project, we have already reached the second major milestone of this kind this year This once again highlights our ability to successfully bring economically viable projects to financial close. Last year alone, we achieved financial close on 14 projects, with a combined capacity of over 350 megawatts – a record figure that we aim to build on in 2026. We plan to either sell these projects or add them to our own portfolio. Our business model's particular strength and flexibility is clearly evident in a dynamic market environment. We adapt our project planning continuously to changing market conditions, while consistently pursuing our growth strategy,” says Peter Szabo, CEO of Energiekontor AG.
