In the first half of 2026, the UKA Group purchased wind projects with a total capacity of around 900 MW or acquired shareholdings. The projects are spread throughout Germany and are mainly in the early to medium stages of development. They complement a portfolio of around 1.5 GW currently under construction.
Stefan Kath, Managing Director of the UKA Group, puts it in perspective: “The market is currently reorganising itself. Anyone who has a wind project in the pipeline today is struggling with rising costs, more demanding banking conditions and falling hammer prices. This makes it economically sensible for many developers to bring a strong partner to their side – whether for a cooperation or for a full purchase. UKA has framework agreements with manufacturers of wind turbines and other project partners on a GW scale and is also successful in oversubscribed tender rounds. Your project is in good hands with us and you are creating space for further projects.”
Project developers who are thinking about a sale or a cooperation cite various reasons: lack of liquidity, limited personnel capacities or the desire not to bear the construction and operational risk themselves. With experienced teams, its own grid connection expertise and the necessary financing strength, UKA contributes the necessary expertise in all phases of project development. The established basis of trust vis-à-vis municipalities, land owners and financing partners is maintained.
As an owner-managed company with more than 26 years of experience, UKA has an “excellent” credit rating confirmed by Creditreform and is represented by at least one location in every area of Germany. In the past two years or so, wind turbines with a total capacity of just under 2 GW have been bindingly ordered – this procurement security directly benefits purchased projects. Anyone who sells their project to UKA or enters into a cooperation benefits from acquisition processes that are designed for reliability and speed, and from the goal of commissioning more than 1 GW of wind power capacity per year in the medium term.
