Energiekontor AG, a leading German developer and operator of wind and solar parks, held its Annual General Meeting on May 27, 2026, in Ritterhude near Bremen, where shareholders approved all agenda items by a large majority. Approximately 60 percent of the registered share capital was represented at the in-person event. The Management Board reported that operational performance in the current financial year is proceeding according to plan, while reaffirming annual and medium-term targets.
Shareholders discharged the Management Board and Supervisory Board, approved the appointment of the auditor for the 2026 financial statements, and endorsed the remuneration report for 2025. Despite a challenging market environment, Energiekontor achieved the upper end of its adjusted earnings forecast for 2025, with sales and earnings increasing year-over-year. The approved dividend of 1.00 euro per eligible share is double last year’s payout, representing approximately 35 percent of the company’s balance sheet profit.
In the first quarter of 2026, the company’s project business and proprietary electricity generation portfolio continued as planned. According to the interim report published on May 13, 2026, Energiekontor currently has 22 wind and solar park projects under construction with a combined capacity of around 650 megawatts, including nine projects exceeding 230 megawatts for its own portfolio. The company expects additional financial closings this year to further expand and technologically rejuvenate its proprietary park portfolio. It is also pursuing project sales and advancing its project pipeline in core markets, strengthening both pillars of its integrated business model.
Energiekontor recently concluded commercially attractive power purchase agreements (PPAs) for 17 German post-EEG wind parks totaling over 100 megawatts for 2026 and 2027. The company is driving expansion and modernization through new park construction, repowering projects, and increased use of smart technologies in park operations.
CEO Peter Szabo acknowledged the continued challenging regulatory and economic environment in core markets but emphasized robust operational performance. As regulatory and infrastructure requirements become clearer, the company expects improved visibility for planned projects and transactions. The project pipeline expanded to more than twelve gigawatts, including US solar project rights, with a significant increase in advanced projects that have building permits or financial closings.
For the 2026 financial year, Energiekontor reaffirms its expectation of Group EBT between 40 and 60 million euros. The company believes it has sufficient potential to achieve the objectives of its 2023-2028 growth strategy in the medium term.
