The energy world is changing. Decarbonization is one of the major challenges for today’s society and the swift expansion of renewable capacity in solar and wind are key for reaching a more sustainable and energy autonomous future.

Accelerating Europe’s energy transition to net zero

 

Uniper is aiming to accelerate Europe’s energy transition to net zero. For this purpose, Uniper has a diversified platform for the development of solar and onshore wind projects in its European core markets, with the capacity to develop 1 GW per year to ready-to-build status (RTB) by the end of 2025 at the latest.

At the same time, Uniper has a steadily growing pipeline of 3 GW (as of November 2022) of projects ready-to-build by 2026. Now we intend to realize our constantly growing multi GW pipeline of solar and onshore wind projects.

With a strong team of experienced and dedicated employees, Uniper brings proven expertise and experience in:

  • wind and solar development
  • engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC)
  • asset and operations management
  • funding, electricity offtake, and risk management.

We develop projects with a variety of partners: land owners, companies, and utilities that need to decarbonize, and renewables developers. Our target regions are Northern Europe, the UK, Germany, Benelux, France, Southern Europe, and Eastern Europe. Our strong offtake capabilities enable us to develop market-based renewables projects without subsidies.

Land owners

As a farmer, forest owner, or municipality, you can lease us suitable land under attractive terms for wind and solar farms. We can enable you to unlock your land’s green value and to contribute to a cleaner future. Projects we develop can be subsidy- as well as market-based.

We believe that renewables projects offer many benefits to nearby communities. That’s why we always consider them partners and collaborate with them closely.

Experience

Since starting our renewables activities in 2021 we have been very successful, growing and building a highly – in all dimensions – diverse team of Renewables professionals, bringing the first joint 380MW wind farm into construction, establishing partnerships with local developers in our defined core markets, developing projects fully in-house and in partnerships to construction readiness.

We have long and proven expertise in engineering, asset management, funding, and offtake. Together, with our highly experienced professionals and the long track record in the energy business we have all the skills necessary to continue successfully develop and build subsidy- and market-based projects anywhere in Europe.
