What They Do
Parkwind focuses exclusively on offshore wind energy and is involved in the development, financing, construction, and operation of wind farms in the North Sea and beyond. The company has expertise in wind farm design, engineering, operations, and research and development in areas such as hydrogen production and aquaculture (source: parkwind.eu). Their core activities encompass the full lifecycle management of offshore wind projects, from concession applications to grid integration and maintenance. This is illustrated by their ownership interests in four Belgian wind farms in the North Sea, which together represent over 750 MW of operational capacity (source: offshorewind.biz).
Projects & Track Record
Parkwind holds stakes in four completed Belgian offshore wind farms in the North Sea: Belwind (completed in 2010), Northwind (completed in 2013), Nobelwind (production started in 2015), and Northwester 2 (operational in 2015) (source: parkwind.eu). Internationally, notable projects include Arcadis Ost 1 in Germany, which was awarded in 2020 and is currently under construction, and Oriel in Ireland, where a joint development agreement with ESB was signed in 2020 (source: offshorewind.biz). Ongoing major projects and pipeline include further developments in Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Japan, France, Norway, Greece, and Australia/New Zealand, with over 750 MW operational in collaboration with JERA (source: parkwind.eu).
Recent Developments
In March 2023, JERA acquired Parkwind from its previous owners, including Virya Energy, valuing the company at €434 million, primarily due to Parkwind's portfolio (source: cbinsights.com). Since April 2024, Parkwind has operated as part of JERA Nex, JERA's renewable energy subsidiary. No major contracts, mergers, or funding rounds have been documented in the sources for 2024-2025, apart from the ongoing integration into JERA and a mention of industry challenges in May 2025 (source: offshorewind.biz).
