About Skyborn Renewables
Company Overview
Skyborn Renewables, a subsidiary of Global Infrastructure Partners, part of BlackRock
HeadquartersHamburg, Germany
Founded2000
SizeApproximately 300 employees across Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the USA (source: linkedin.com)
What They Do
Skyborn Renewables is an offshore wind infrastructure platform focused on the development, construction, ownership, and operation of offshore wind projects. The company covers the entire value chain, from greenfield development through project engineering, procurement, financing, corporate power purchase agreements, to construction management, asset management, and long-term operations (source: skybornrenewables.com). Skyborn focuses on proven fixed-bottom technologies and mature markets, positioning itself as an end-to-end infrastructure platform rather than a broadly diversified renewable energy developer (source: linkedin.com). A unique selling point is its control over the entire project lifecycle—from site assessment to decades-long operation—supported by its own asset model and extensive development experience since 2000 (source: skybornrenewables.com).
Projects & Track Record
Skyborn’s operational portfolio includes several major offshore wind farms: Nordergründe in Germany with 111 MW, Fécamp in France with 500 MW, South Fork in the USA with 132 MW, and Yunlin in Taiwan with 640 MW, totaling a combined gross capacity of about 750 MW (source: skybornrenewables.com). Yunlin consists of 80 turbines spread over 82 km², located 8 to 17 km off Taiwan’s west coast, with construction completion scheduled for 2024 and commercial operation starting August 2025 (source: skybornrenewables.com). South Fork, a 132 MW offshore wind farm off Montauk Point, New York, began delivering power in 2024 (source: skybornrenewables.com). Fécamp was awarded in a 2012 tender alongside EDF Power Solutions and EIH and is among the operational assets (source: skybornrenewables.com).
Current major projects include Calvados in France with 450 MW, Revolution in the USA with 704 MW (of which Skyborn holds 50%), and Gennaker in Germany with up to 976.5 MW (source: skybornrenewables.com, tradingview.com). Additionally, Skyborn is developing projects in Sweden and Finland, including Storgrundet (1,020 MW), Polargrund (3,000 MW), Eystrasalt (3,900 MW), Fyrskeppet (2,800 MW), SoutH2Port (600 MW hydrogen project), and Pooki (1,500 MW) (source: skybornrenewables.com). The entire development pipeline exceeds 20 GW (source: linkedin.com).
Recent Developments
A major milestone was the financial close of the Gennaker project on September 11, 2026, marking the transition to the construction phase (source: tradingview.com). Gennaker has a total project value exceeding 3 billion euros, includes 63 turbines, is expected to generate around 3.8 TWh annually, and aims to supply approximately 1 million households by the end of 2028 (source: enerdata.net). In June 2026, Amazon signed a 600 MW Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for Gennaker, followed by Uniper with a 100 MW PPA (source: eqs-news.com). The construction permit for Gennaker was granted at the end of 2025, with commissioning planned for 2028 (source: eqs-news.com).
Other developments include approval of the Swedish project Fyrskeppet, full ownership of the German wind farm Nordergründe, a partnership with Stadtwerke München for Gennaker, financing of Yunlin, exclusive development rights for the Finnish project Pooki, and the submission of the application for Eystrasalt (source: skybornrenewables.com).
Working There
Skyborn Renewables offers diverse career opportunities across the entire offshore wind lifecycle, including development, project engineering and design, procurement, financing, corporate PPAs, construction management, and asset management (source: skybornrenewables.com). The workforce is international, representing over 35 nationalities and spread across global locations, especially in Hamburg and Bremen (source: linkedin.com).
