Qair has secured a contract to develop a 61.2 MW wind farm in the Baden-Württemberg region. The project, awarded through a recent tender by ForstBW, the state’s forestry agency, represents a major milestone in Germany’s transition to renewable energy while reinforcing Qair’s commitment to multi-local and multi-energy strategies.

Delivering clean energy to thousands of households

The wind farm will consist of nine turbines and is expected to generate approximately 150,000 megawatt-hours (MWh) of electricity per year, providing clean power to around 40,000 households in the region. This initiative aligns with Germany’s ambitious renewable energy targets, which aim for at least 80% of electricity generation from renewable sources by 2030.

Germany’s government has accelerated the permitting process and increased tender volumes for wind and solar projects through the Easter Package (Osterpaket) of 2022. Additionally, measures such as the community benefit scheme ensure that municipalities hosting wind farms receive a direct share of revenues, promoting local acceptance and support. With the planned coal phase-out by 2030, projects like Qair’s wind farm play a crucial role in meeting Germany’s growing demand for sustainable energy solutions.

Qair’s European expansion and renewable energy vision

In addition, Qair strengthens its strategy in Germany with investments in renewable energy, including wind, solar, and storage to ensure grid stability. It operates 31 MW and is developing over 600 MW, with key projects such as two wind farms totaling 43 MW, a 22 MW solar plant, and the 194 MW Altötting wind farm, Bavaria’s largest. Additionally, it is making progress in energy storage projects across the country.

A commitment to a decarbonized Europe

This latest development in Germany strengthens Qair’s strategic ambition to expand its presence in leading European renewable energy markets. The company has established operations in multiple countries, including France, Poland, Iceland, Italy, Spain, Romania, Greece, and the United Kingdom. By integrating wind, solar, and storage technologies, Qair is helping drive Europe’s transition towards a low-carbon future.
