- Positive findings after 5 years of systematic optimisation of the Own Farm Segment 
- Conclusion: On average 2% additional yield p. a. and over 20% cost reduction 
- Starting now Energiekontor offers wind farm management as a service 
In the "Report Wind Farm Optimisation 2016-2020" published today, Energiekontor reviews the impact of optimisation 
measures in the Own Farm Segment over the last five years. According to the report, 2% additional yield p. a. and more 
than 20% cost reductions have been achieved across all wind farms. At the same time, Energiekontor AG announces that it 
will also be offering its optimisation know-how to external wind farms in the form of holistic wind farm management as 
a service starting today. 
Energiekontor AG has been projecting and operating over 100 wind farms since 1990 and is known as a wind energy 
pioneer. Since 2016, Energiekontor has also been systematically optimising yields in the Group's own wind farms. In the 
meantime, the internationally successful company has achieved a very extensive level of knowledge about which 
retrofitting brings how much more power to which turbine under which circumstances. This knowledge is based on the 
innovative technologies for increasing the yield of wind turbines, which were developed together with the industry and 
are independent of manufacturers. The cost side was also analysed in detail, and numerous cost factors could be 
reduced, in some cases significantly. 
"The effects of the optimisations have far exceeded our expectations. Through our systematic approach, we were able to 
reduce the electricity production costs in our wind farms by more than 20% and also generate 15.5 million kWh of 
additional wind power per year. This can supply an additional 6,500 two-person households," says Carsten Schwarz, Board 
Member at Energiekontor AG and responsible for operations management. "In this way, we are also making an important 
contribution from operations in order to drive forward the energy transition. Thanks to the significant increases in 
earnings and cost reductions, we are setting standards here for optimised continued operation, as the report shows," 
Schwarz continues. 
From July 2021, Energiekontor will also offer comprehensive wind farm management services for external wind farms. The 
focus is on operational management, optimisation and electricity marketing as well as repowering of wind farms. 
Energiekontor is already responsible for the operational management of wind farms it has planned and acquired itself 
with an installed capacity of 1 GW - the equivalent of 2 billion kWh per year, which corresponds to the electricity 
requirements of 600,000 two- to three-person households. 
"We are now also offering other owners to manage their wind farms as operations managers and to optimise them with our 
methods, because we want to apply our special know-how for wind farm success more broadly. Whether it's a new project 
or an existing farm, continued operation under the EEG or electricity marketing, our expert teams are happy to share 
our experience from 128 wind farm projects and more than 30 years of operational management with other wind farms," 
announces Carsten Schwarz. 
Since the end of the EEG subsidy, many wind farm owners have been striving to continue operating their plants 
economically in order to achieve reliable revenues even in the face of unpredictable market price developments. Large 
and experienced project developers and operators like Energiekontor, who are already producing renewable electricity 
cost-effectively with a combination of volume, experience and innovative methods, are showing the way to the future. 
They are helpful partners for other market participants and positive examples of the opportunities in the industry - 
and not least an essential pillar for sustainable energy supply in all sectors.
