Wind Energy Solutions for Saxony
Your Partner for Wind Energy Solutions in Saxony
In the heart of Germany's high-tech transformation, VIRDI develops, plans, and operates high-performance wind parks to power the future of Saxony. We specialize in unlocking the state's significant wind potential, from the highlands of the Erzgebirge (Ore Mountains) to the vast post-mining landscapes of Lusatia, creating a vital source of clean energy for the "Silicon Saxony" cluster and a secure, long-term revenue stream for landowners.
Transform your property, including agricultural land or former mining sites (Tagebauflächen), into a highly profitable, long-term asset. We lease your land for wind energy use, guaranteeing you a secure, indexed income for decades with zero financial risk.
Actively drive the Strukturwandel (structural change) in your community. We partner with you to develop wind projects that generate significant local tax revenue and create a sustainable economic future beyond lignite (brown coal).
Invest in the backbone of Europe's leading microelectronics hub. Wind park projects in Saxony offer stable returns, backed by the immense and constant energy demand of the high-tech industry and a strong political commitment to the energy transition.
Why Wind Energy is Essential for Saxony's Future
Wind power is a vital pillar for a prosperous and sustainable future for Saxony. For this hub of innovation and industry, the expansion of wind energy is a clear strategic necessity, driving its transformation.
Powering "Silicon Saxony" As Europe's premier location for the semiconductor industry, "Silicon Saxony" has a massive and growing demand for 24/7, reliable green electricity. Wind power is the key to providing the clean energy that these global technology leaders need to decarbonize their sensitive manufacturing processes and maintain their competitive edge.
Driving a Successful "Strukturwandel" As Saxony transitions away from its legacy of lignite mining, renewable energy is the key to a successful economic transformation. Wind parks create new, high-value uses for post-mining land, generate sustainable income for communities in regions undergoing change, and are a powerful symbol of a modern, green industrial future.
Harnessing Highland Wind Potential in the Erzgebirge Saxony's elevated highland regions, particularly the Erzgebirge, offer excellent and consistent wind resources. Our expertise lies in developing wind projects in this complex terrain with the utmost ecological sensitivity, unlocking a powerful natural advantage for the state.
Maximizing Potential through Repowering As one of Germany's pioneering wind energy regions, Saxony has a significant number of older wind parks. Repowering, replacing these with fewer, more powerful modern turbines, is the most intelligent strategy to multiply clean energy output on existing sites, a critical component of the state's energy strategy.
VIRDI has the specialized expertise required to navigate Saxony’s planning landscape and make your wind project a success.
A VIRDI wind park is a complex undertaking that we manage for you from start to finish. We deliver a comprehensive, end-to-end service package engineered for maximum efficiency and seamless project execution.
Our process begins with a detailed analysis of your site in Saxony. We commission certified, bankable wind assessments to confirm the potential of the location, with special expertise in the unique conditions of post-mining landscapes and the Mittelgebirge highlands.
Our expert team navigates the rigorous permitting process in Saxony, managing all dialogue with local authorities, regional planning associations, and mining authorities to secure the necessary approvals in a timely and efficient manner.
We secure the complete project financing through our strong network of financial partners and manage the entire construction process. This includes everything from access roads and foundations to turbine erection and grid connection, where we prioritize regional partners from Saxony.
Our responsibility continues long after commissioning. We manage the day-to-day technical operations, maintenance, and service to ensure maximum uptime and optimize the marketing of the electricity produced, guaranteeing a reliable return for all stakeholders
Designed for Efficiency: Modern Technology & Repowering
We focus on the latest generation of wind turbines, which are more powerful, quieter, and more efficient than ever before. For a state with a long history in energy production like Saxony, Repowering is a core competency and the most intelligent path forward.
We specialize in replacing legacy wind turbines with state-of-the-art technology. This approach allows us to double or even triple the energy output on the same footprint, often with fewer turbines. It's a strategy that respects the landscape, maximizes land-use efficiency, and ensures that established wind sites continue to contribute powerfully to Saxony's energy goals for decades to come.
We have streamlined our development process into four clear and simple phases, ensuring transparency and partnership at every step.
The journey begins when you contact us. We provide a no-cost, no-obligation check to determine if your property is located in a suitable area for wind development, based on regional planning and initial wind data.
If the site is promising, we design the optimal wind park layout, secure lease agreements with you, and expertly guide the project through the entire BImSchG permitting process, handling all complexities on your behalf.
Once all permits are secured, our project management team oversees the complete construction and grid connection of the wind park, ensuring minimal disruption and adherence to the highest safety and quality standards.
The wind park begins producing clean energy, and you start receiving your secure, indexed lease payments for decades. We manage all aspects of the operation, ensuring a truly worry-free partnership for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Suitable land is typically located within the priority areas designated by Saxony's regional planning authorities. This includes agricultural land, designated forest areas in the Erzgebirge, and particularly the vast post-mining landscapes in the Lausitz region. We provide a no-cost check to see if your property qualifies.
Lease payments for prime wind energy sites are among the most lucrative sources of secondary income for landowners. Payments are tied to the turbine's revenue and provide a very high, long-term, and often inflation-indexed income, securing your financial future for decades.
None. VIRDI bears 100% of the development risk and all costs for studies, planning, permits, construction, operation, and the eventual decommissioning of the turbines. Your lease payment is pure revenue, with no financial outlay required from you at any stage.
Wind energy projects are long-term ventures. Due to the extensive expert studies and the demanding BImSchG permitting process, you should anticipate a timeframe of 5 to 7 years from initial planning to commissioning. Our expertise is focused on making this process as efficient as possible.
Repowering involves replacing old, less powerful turbines with new, highly efficient models. As one of Germany's first wind regions, Saxony has many older sites that are perfect for repowering. It is a key strategy to increase the state's clean energy output without using new land, which is critical for the success of the Strukturwandel.
