Volkswind / Partner for / Communities

Environmentally friendly electricity,
produced directly in your community

As a municipality, you benefit from new sources of income from trade tax and possibly the leasing of land. In addition, we give municipalities a share in the electricity revenues of our wind farm. We distribute 0.2 cents per kilowatt hour to the municipalities directly involved. The modernisation of the municipal road network in the wind farm is also one of the advantages that the realisation of a farm offers to the municipalities.

Volkswind assumes responsibility towards the local residents and not only fulfils all legal requirements, but in some cases also goes beyond them. In many projects, we offer citizens the opportunity to directly participate financially in the new wind farm on site. Our citizen participation models are financially attractive and increase acceptance for the project “on the doorstep”.

Community representatives and mayors are involved at an early stage in the planning of wind farms. 

Clarity, fairness and respectful interaction with the municipal administration, committee and council members are our strengths. We are certain: the greatest possible consensus in the municipal council is the multiple factor for a stable planning basis.

Your municipality also benefits from regional added value 

we are happy to award contracts for road and path construction as well as for electrical infrastructure measures to regional companies. It is important to us that the local communities and local companies are actively involved in this way. Become part of the energy transition and make your community a pioneer for renewable energies.
