Osnabrück-based Prowind GmbH has sold its Dutch project development company Prowind B.V. to the energy company Eneco. With this decision, Prowind is consistently aligning its business activities with the dynamically growing home market in Germany and pooling its resources for further growth in renewable energy.
The sale is part of a long-term corporate strategy aimed at efficiency, market strength and a clear focus on core competencies. The German wind market is currently accelerating significantly: in 2024 and 2025, Prowind received an exceptionally high number of permits and EEG awards – which is why Prowind is now concentrating on its project pipeline in Germany and laying the foundation for growth in the coming years.
“We are currently seeing strong momentum in wind energy in Germany,” explains Johannes Busmann, managing owner of Prowind GmbH. “By concentrating our efforts on our home market, we can make targeted use of this development, implement projects faster and further expand our contribution to the energy transition.”

As part of the transaction, Eneco is taking over all ongoing development projects as well as the experienced Dutch team of Prowind B.V. All existing partnerships with landowners, municipalities and energy cooperatives will continue, ensuring a smooth handover.
Erwin Leeuwis, Director Renewable Power at Eneco: “The wind projects we are acquiring with this agreement are a valuable addition to the Eneco portfolio. As many of these developments are located in the east of the Netherlands, we are also strengthening the regional distribution of our sustainable energy projects. We are particularly pleased to welcome Prowind's employees to Eneco and that they will remain involved in the projects. I am convinced that this acquisition will make a positive contribution to our sustainability goals.”
“The decision to sell was not an easy one for us,” emphasises Busmann. “The Netherlands remains an important market for us, and we are proud of what our team has achieved there. With Eneco, we know that the projects and our employees are in the best hands – with a partner who shares our values and will develop the projects in line with our vision – and at the same time we can focus fully on the opportunities in the German market.”
Long-term presence in the Netherlands remains
Prowind remains present in the Netherlands with the projects it has already successfully implemented there. These include a 20-hectare solar project (Zonnepark Broekstraat, Klarenbeek), a community wind farm (Windpark Koningspleij, Arnhem), a rooftop system in Hengevelde and the innovative Solar-Transferium energy project in Zwolle, which combines a photovoltaic carport, EV charging points, battery storage and an energy management system. In this way, Prowind reaffirms its long-term presence and responsibility in the Dutch market.
With this strategic realignment, Prowind is strengthening its market position in Germany and making targeted use of the current growth opportunities in the wind energy sector. By concentrating on its home market, the company aims to make an even greater contribution to accelerating the energy transition.
