Energiekontor sells Scottish wind park project to Uniper

Bremen, 10 June 2025 – Energiekontor AG (“Energiekontor”), one of the leading German project developers and operators of wind and solar parks, based in Bremen and listed in the General Standard, has sold a Scottish wind park project to the global energy provider Uniper.

Energiekontor has sold an onshore wind park project, located in the south-west of Scotland to Uniper UK, a subsidiary of the Düsseldorf-based global energy company Uniper.

The wind park will have a total generation capacity of around 46 megawatts. A total of seven Nordex N163 wind turbines are planned for the site. The individual turbines have a maximum tip height of 200 metres and a rotor diameter of 163 metres. The average expected annual yield of the wind park is around 158 gigawatt hours of electricity per year - enough to supply more than 66,000 average households with renewable electricity. Once commissioned, it will benefit from Energiekontor’s long-standing experience in operational management and optimisation support.

In October 2023, Energiekontor already successfully participated with the project in the fifth round of auctions held by the UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) for the allocation of a contract for difference (CFD). In this context, the project was awarded an inflation-linked feed-in tariff from which the wind park will benefit once it goes on stream.

“We are particularly pleased to have successfully led this first joint project with Uniper to this important milestone. This project marks another valuable addition to United Kingdom’s growing renewable energy landscape. With the sale of the project, we can now enter the realisation phase with Uniper”, said Peter Szabo, CEO of Energiekontor AG.
