Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century and the restructuring of the energy industry is therefore urgently required. Renewable energy already accounts for around 40 percent of gross electricity consumption in Europe today – however, climate targets and the increased demand for electricity due to electrification require a significant expansion of generation capacities.

Our aim is to play a key role in shaping this development. To ensure affordable, clean, and reliable energy for all, we are prioritizing the rapid transition to renewable energy. We cover all aspects of the value chain: from project development and construction to the operation and marketing of solar energy and onshore wind power plants.

What we do

We are driving the expansion of solar and wind energy forward

With our green portfolio, we offer customers environmentally friendly, customized, and flexible energy solutions that help them reduce their carbon footprint and implement their own transformation. After all, renewable energy is the key to a more sustainable and secure future. We are investing massively in the expansion and development of solar and wind energy capacities.

By the early 2030s, that means:

EUR 8 billion

Uniper aims to invest approximately 8 billion euros in its transformation by 2030.

We are pacemakers in renewable energies
Our commitment to decarbonisation, security of supply and customer-oriented growth makes us an important partner in the changing energy landscape. We are actively driving the energy transition forward and thus making a significant contribution to a sustainable future.

We are your partner

For landowners, forest owners and municipalities

Do you have unrestricted open spaces? We lease, you profit!
Together we bring sustainable energy to your region. Our approach: we lease your uncommitted land and develop, build, and operate a PV or wind system there – at our risk. Close cooperation and extensive intensive dialog with local stakeholders are important to us. Use the potential of your land!

Your benefits:

  • Economic opportunities
    Participation in the energy transition not only has environmental benefits. It is also an opportunity for economic growth. Your land can provide a new source of income, create jobs in the community and boost the local economy. And you get secure, sustainable income. Our competitive land leases allow you to maximise the value of your land.
     
  • Long-term partnerships
    We attach great importance to building lasting relationships with our local stakeholders. Our goal: a tailor-made solution to your satisfaction. That's why we work closely with you from day one. All implementation is carried out by a central project team and local staff with local expertise. Through your involvement in these projects, you become a trusted partner in the community's transition to clean energy sources.
  • Responsibility for the environment
    As a farmer, community or forest owner, you play a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions and promoting environmental sustainability by making your land available. You become an active part of the energy transition.

Do you have agricultural land (grassland or arable land)? Fallow land or converted land from former commercial or military use, or artificial, unused water areas? Get in touch with us

For local authorities, industrial and commercial customers

Do you need green electricity? We supply it! 
We can provide you with customised electricity solutions at calculable prices. Let us work together to make an active contribution to reducing CO2 emissions in the electricity sector and at the same time come a good deal closer to achieving your own sustainability goals.

Your benefits:

  • Tailor-made & ecological
    With our green power purchase agreements (PPAs), we offer you direct supply contracts for renewable energy. Individually tailored to your needs. Deliveries are made from our German and European portfolio. Do you have regional preferences? On request, we can also support your sustainable green positioning with guarantees of origin, i.e. with direct, regional plant allocation.
     
  • Planning security
    At fixed conditions: We guarantee you investment and contract security. We structure the renewable electricity profile for you in tradable standard products and provide you with a green base band throughout the year. Secure provision: We give you access to large-scale plants on available sites. This guarantees a consistent and reliable supply of green energy.
  • Competent 
    Take advantage of our comprehensive expertise in the energy and commodity markets for your effective risk management.
  • Top locations
    We have the space, you benefit. We use first-class locations for our plants. This ensures a secure supply and simplifies your efforts to find a green energy solution.

For investors

Renewable energies pay off! 
An investment in our solar and wind projects offers you a wealth of benefits and ensures your success in the field of renewable energy.

Your benefits:

  • Investments at an advanced stage of development
    With us, you can invest in renewable energy projects at an advanced stage of development. This means that you invest in projects that are well on the way to success. In this way, you reduce the uncertainties associated with early stages of development.
     
  • Attractive investment opportunities
    Choose from attractive options to invest in parts or bundles of regionally or technologically diversified investments. This flexibility allows you to tailor your investment to your specific goals and preferences.
  • Opportunities with low-risk investments
    We offer you the opportunity to invest in low-risk plants. Our proven technology and secured purchase agreements ensure a high degree of reliability, minimise investment risks, and provide a strong foundation for your investment portfolio.

With us, you are not only investing in renewable energies, but also in a secure, diversified and low-risk future. Work with us to maximise your returns and contribute to a greener, more sustainable world. Contact us.
