Frequently asked questions
What does Saxovent actually own versus what it has developed for others?
Saxovent both co-develops projects with external partners and operates its own fleet as an independent power producer. The IPP portfolio exceeds 180 MW of self-owned wind capacity, held after the turbines are commissioned. The firm's project-development track record — 400 turbines totaling more than 669 MW across Germany, France, and Eastern Europe — includes assets where it held a minority development stake, a full turnkey role, or retained long-term ownership.
What is Saxovent's track record in solar and storage, beyond wind?
Solar and storage are late-era additions. On the solar side, Saxovent has been involved in projects including an 81.8 MWp installation south of Rostock and a 76 MWp agri-PV project in north-eastern Germany sourced from Orrön Energy. In 2024 it launched a strategic partnership with Luxera Energy to target utility-scale battery storage, moving the firm beyond its original wind-only mandate.
Does Saxovent invest in early-stage climate-tech startups or only hard assets?
It does both. The venture sleeve targets early-stage, growth, and spin-off companies in climate-relevant technology. Named portfolio companies include InvestInvent AG and Einklang, the latter providing battery-optimised power solutions for commercial and industrial users. Saxovent also co-invests alongside institutional partners such as High-Tech Gründerfonds.
How is Saxovent organised geographically, and where does it deploy capital?
The headquarters are in Berlin. Regional development started in eastern German states (Thuringia, Brandenburg, Saxony-Anhalt, Lower Saxony), expanded into Eastern Europe and France alongside partner H2air, and entered the US in 2019 via a partnership with Ironwood. The portfolio tags currently show active investment across the DACH region, Europe, and the United States.
