Eurowind buys two permitted Brandenburg and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania wind farms totalling 86.7 MW

Eurowind Energy has acquired two permitted onshore wind farms in Brandenburg and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania with a combined installed capacity of 86.7 MW and 13 turbines^[1]. Financial terms were not disclosed. The Danish developer described the deal as notable given what it called a "challenging market environment" shaped by higher financing costs, regulatory changes, and strong competition^[1].

The projects

Both sites have been approved under Germany's Federal Emission Control Act (BImSchG)^[1], the standard permitting route for onshore wind in Germany. Eurowind did not name the projects or their sellers. The two states - Brandenburg and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania - sit in Germany's wind-rich northeast, where the bulk of the country's onshore capacity is concentrated and where grid congestion between northern generation and southern demand centres has been a persistent constraint.

Eurowind's German position

The acquisition adds to a construction portfolio that has been growing rapidly. As of July 2026, Eurowind's German construction portfolio comprised 15 projects with a total installed capacity of 284 MW, following tender awards for three further farms totalling 70 MW earlier that month. The company's German development pipeline stands at around 4.6 GW across six offices and more than 110 employees in the country.

Germany managing director David Christopher Stahl said the deal "demonstrates that we remain capable of taking action even in a challenging market environment and are consistently implementing our growth strategy"^[1]. Stahl has previously said Eurowind is actively seeking:

• Cooperation partners at all permitting stages
• Operational wind farms
• Older assets suitable for repowering

Capital backdrop

The acquisitions are being made against the backdrop of a major capital injection. On 29 April 2026, Blackstone Infrastructure agreed to invest up to €2 billion in Eurowind Energy, taking an initial 24.7% stake while founders and Danish energy group Norlys retained majority ownership. The deal, which is expected to close before end-2026, was explicitly aimed at accelerating development in Germany, where Eurowind has been active for 20 years.

The broader German onshore wind market has been under pressure. Germany had roughly 63 GW of onshore wind installed at end-2024, short of the 69 GW intermediary target set by the Renewable Energy Act for that year, with slow permitting implementation and low auction turnout cited as the main constraints. The country's 84 GW target for 2026 looks increasingly difficult to meet.

What to watch

The key question is whether Eurowind moves these two projects directly into construction or holds them as development assets. Given that both carry BImSchG approval - the most time-consuming hurdle in the German permitting chain - they are ready-to-build candidates. With Blackstone capital available and a 4.6 GW pipeline to work through, the pace at which Eurowind converts permitted assets into operating megawatts in Germany will be the clearest test of whether the partnership is accelerating delivery or simply expanding the queue.
