Energy is here – decentralized and renewable. Natural resources are
available in nearly infinite quantities, the technologies are at hand,
and the development processes have been tried and tested. There is
a wide range of projects that give proof. Working together to promote
renewable energies efficiently and reliably: this is our drive, our
passion. They are safe, renewable, and profitable – and they represent
a win-win scenario for everyone.
Renewable energies not only protect the climate and the environment,
they also free people, companies, and communities from financial
burdens. The decentralized generation and use of renewable energies
helps to create value in regions. New jobs are created, infrastructure
is improved, tax and leasing revenues increase. In short, renewable
energies make it possible to combine profitable business with a
respectful relationship with people and nature.
It is our goal to produce 100 percent decentralized, renewable en-
ergies – and to do it as quickly as possible. We want to work toward
this goal together with you. There are plenty of opportunities to get
involved. juwi combines all of the skills needed for a successful project,
under one roof. Consultation, site assesment, planning, financing,
implementation and operation – at juwi you get everything from a single
provider. This applies to power and heat production plants as well as
to the integration of energy-efficient technologies and sustainable
products – such as electricity and wood pellets – into our everyday
activities. Our references show that we successfully deliver what we
promise – together with all of our partners.
Renewable energies are economically viable, reliable, and they promote independence.

WE GENERATE ClEAN ENERGYRenewable energies are economical and reliable – juwi has shown
that since 1996. As a general contractor, we cover the entire process
chain for the construction of systems for using wind, solar and bio
energy. From consultation and site assessment all the way through to
planning, financing and construction, as well as technical and business
management.
We integrate all partners in the planning process, take their wishes
into account, and solve conflicts of interest. Around the world, more
than 1,400 qualified juwi employees are working passionately to
achieve a comprehensive renewable energy mix. We combine various
types of energy, thereby providing for the basic conditions needed to
offer a complete supply of environmentally friendly power to private
households, companies and communities based on demand.
WE IMPROVE ENERGY EFFICIENCYIt is equally important to use this energy intelligently and efficiently. For
this reason, in addition to constructing and operating renewable power
plants, juwi also develops concepts to improve energy efficiency, for
example in the areas of building technology, electric mobility and the
storage of renewable energy. Through the construction of production
plants for natural, climate-neutral wood fuels in many regions in
Germany and by opening regional offices for photovoltaic rooftop
systems, juwi offers many people the opportunity to actively participate
in the energy revolution in their area.
WE MAKE IT HAPPEN
Renewable energies provided close to 20 percent of global energy consumption in 2010. This figure will continue to rise within the next years.
Excellent conditions for the journey into the era of renewable energies: The potential is large enough to completely cover the world’s power
and heat requirements with renewable energies.
Potential of renewable energies exceeds worldwide energy requirements
Renewable energies are available everywhere. juwi demonstrates in numerous projects how to combine renewables in a clean energy mix, for example in the Energy Landscape in Morbach, Germany.
Construction Management
WE CONSTRUCT YOUR POWER PlANT
The construction of wind farms, solar energy, and bio energy installations is our core competence. For each project we combine our know-how from different areas.
juwi develops a strategy that takes into account the interests of all
partners while integrating all installations into the landscape and
nature. What kinds of energy can be used efficiently in a particular
location? What interests need to be taken into account as the project
is being planned? We answer these questions first. Once the basic
requirements are fulfilled, juwi designs the entire process for the
construction and operation of the plant. We then procure the contracts
needed to lease or purchase areas and pieces of land. We manage
the application and approval processes, take the needs of the region’s
residents into account, and contract subcontractors and system
manufacturers. Suppliers, skilled workers, and technicians work hand
in hand – sometimes over the course of many months. juwi coordinates
and supervises their work with a great deal of skill and experience. This
way, we facilitate the fast and cost-efficient construction of renewable
power plants.
juwi also looks for investors and develops financing models. We select
banks, obtain cost-efficient lines of credit, and integrate regional
energy suppliers as additional financing partners. The juwi group also
supports you if you want to implement your projects using community
participation financing models.
juwi remains your contact partner once your plant is connected to the
grid. We monitor and optimize the efficiency of your power plants over
a period of more than 20 years. Regular inspections, continuous remote
monitoring, and close cooperation with the manufacturers guarantees
high technical availability for your plants. In addition, we take care of
all business tasks for the project. This includes managing questions
regarding taxes and insurance and delivering detailed reports to
investors.
For a successful project you will make many decisions. Your advan-
tage at juwi: You get all services one-stop. Our staff will accompany
you from the initial idea to the economic operation of your plant.
Project development from A to Z

juwi has more than 80 wind turbine project locations worldwide and the potential for growth in
the wind sector continues to increase, especially with regard to attractive onshore locations and
locations abroad. By the end of 2015, we will have developed wind power projects all over the
world with a total capacity of more than 2,500 megawatts. Already today, wind power is available
at a price of between five and nine euro cents per kWh, thereby making it the most economic
form of energy. Clean wind power is smoothly integrated into the energy supply network and
purchase is guaranteed at fixed rates in many countries. In addition to site assessment, planning
projects and implementing them, we also take care of all project financing as well as technical
and commercial management.

all over the world. By 2015, we plan to build systems with a total capacity of more than 4,500
megawatts. We offer you the best solutions: Purchase your own turnkey PV system or lease your
rooftops and free-fields to us. The owner of a leasing area incurs no cost or time expenditure –
but does benefit from attractive and secure leasing revenues for over 20 years. juwi continues
to develop offers for off-grid systems that produce solar power independently from the power
grid and offers components at competitive conditions.
In the area of bio power, our range of products is as diverse as the different sources of bio
energy itself. We plan, construct, and operate biogas power plants, heating plants and combined
heat and power plants. We place particular importance on maintaining a seamless process
chain: from supplying the plant with the best available raw materials to delivering heat and
power to consumers on site. The juwi energy cabin offers a compact heating system with an
integrated fuel storage system. We also produce eco-friendly wood pellets and Palaterra, a
nutrient-rich black soil that increases land productivity.

INNOVATIONS FOR THE FUTURE
In addition to planning and constructing wind farms and solar and bio energy plants, juwi pro-motes the expansion of renewable, decentralized supply systems with innovative concepts.
ElECTRIC MObIlITY & STORAGE TECHNOlOGIES juwi combines clean energy production with the needs of modern
transportation systems and promotes the expansion of electric
mobility: We build solar carports to shelter parking spaces and
develop power parking lots with simple and practical payment
systems. juwi is working to integrate electric vehicles into its fleet,
and many employees are already driving electric company vehicles
fuelled with renewable power. In addition, juwi is participating in the
development of storage technologies. Through its participation in
SolarFuel GmbH, juwi researches various methods of transforming
hydrogen and carbon dioxide into natural gas using clean power in
order to save energy. This is a key element of the creation of a power
infrastructure based on renewable energy.
GREEN POWER, WOOD FUELS & SOIl SUbSTRATAWith concepts for regional direct marketing, juwi offers people who
live near renewable power plants the opportunity to profit directly
from this clean and affordable energy. The first pilot projects have
begun successfully in the collective municipality of Wörrstadt. Here,
both communities and private citizens are taking advantage of the
power generated by the neighboring wind power installations. In
many regions – for example in Morbach (Hunsrück) and Langelsheim
(Harz) – juwi produces wood pellets, a climate-neutral source of
heat for residential estates, schools, administrative buildings, hotels,
and small settlements. The raw materials stem from regional wood
processing industries. This way, juwi adheres to the principles of a
decentralized circular economy by avoiding extra transportation and
helping the consumer to become independent of price increases in oil
and natural gas. In addition to wood fuels, juwi also produces Palaterra
– a nutrient-rich black earth which increases the nutrient and water
content of the soil and improves the productivity of usable soil – at its
production facility in the Donnersberg district (Rhineland-Palatinate).
GREEN BUILDINGSEnergy-efficient technology for cutting-edge, low-consumption
buildings – that is one of the keys to efficient climate protection and
the realization of an energy supply composed entirely of renewable
energies. juwi provides municipal and commercial clients with custom
concepts for new or renovated buildings or extensions to existing
buildings. Among other things, we focus on offices and commercial
buildings, kindergartens, schools and university buildings, hospitals
and retirement homes, fire stations, hotels, residential estates and
industrial properties. For example, juwi has realized the possibilities of
energy efficient construction and building equipment at its company
headquarters in Wörrstadt and at its subsidiary building in Brandis,
near leipzig.
Efficient buildings with solar power production and the integration of electric vehicles into
everyday life are key components of an innovative renewable energy system.

in the energy sector. Thus, you can follow the price increase of the
continually decreasing fossil and nuclear energy sources from a
safe distance and achieve new, long-term financial freedom. For a
community, this can mean that you have more money to invest in the
well-being of your citizens – for example, in education, childcare and
social projects.
The independence of the juwi group will benefit you. As an owner-
managed company, we can react quickly and flexibly – without share-
holders, stockholders, company hierarchies or political concerns that
keep us from acting pragmatically in the best interest of our customers.
This makes us reliable long-term partners for your energy projects.
Working together with you to produce clean energy directly on-site,
we become independent of imported oil, coal, and gas from our world‘s
crisis regions. We avoid the often dangerous process of acquiring raw
materials, save on expensive transportation, and in doing this, help
protect the environment and our climate. Together, we can shore up
our supply because it is easier to compensate for breakdowns with
many small regenerative energy installations than with just a few large
power plants.
Communities, companies, and private consumers work independently
to create and use their own energy: With this decentralized supply ap-
proach, we help you to free yourself from the monopolistic structures
WE PROVIDE INDEPENDENCE
With our concepts and installations, we use the natural resources in the places where the heat and power are needed: decentralized, in your region.

Decentralized energies stimulate the economy, secure jobs, and prevent costs for the import of expensive raw materials.
EVERYTHING REMAINS IN YOUR REGION
When your region produces a great deal of power from renewable
energies, many parties benefit in various ways: Investors generate
stable incomes from the compensation for clean power and heating
energy. Each wind or solar project also generates revenue from
business tax, which communities can count on over an operating
period of more than 20 years. This opens up new opportunities for the
city or community that can be used to benefit citizens. Private and
municipal landowners receive lease payments from system operators.
Last but not least, private citizens can take advantage of the benefits
of renewable energies as part of community participation financing
models or as customers of economical public power deals.
Each project draws investment into the region and means that jobs
cannot be outsourced to foreign countries. Construction companies,
appraisers, and tradesman shops all profit. The planning, construction
and maintenance of the installations and the necessary infrastructure
will fill their order books well into the future. Farmers and foresters
supply raw materials for producing climate-neutral fuels, such as wood
pellets, and are contributing to the creation of a new sector.
Renewable energies facilitate the creation of many new jobs. In
Germany, around 350,000 people are already employed in this sector.
That‘s four times as many as ten years ago.
Many regions profit from the tourism-related benefits of the boom
in renewable energies. The best example is the Morbach Energy
Landscape, east of Trier. Since 2003, 27,000 visitors from 80 countries
have visited the location in Hunsrück to see juwi‘s planned and realized
energy mix with their own eyes. Wind farm festivals, energy tours,
hiking days and exhibitions also convince visitors elsewhere of the
strategy that it is possible to solve global energy problems through
clever on-site projects.

Distance doesn‘t matter. The operations and maintenance team guarantees a smooth operation of plants and an ideal yield, for example with rotor blade inspections.
ECONOMIC AND RELIABLE
Renewable energies are already established in many areas. The technical systems are powerful and highly sophisticated.
Many community energy providers have recognized the efficiency
and reliability of renewable energies. This means that juwi renewable
IPP GmbH, together with seven companies, has already developed
subsidiaries that build and operate wind, solar or bio energy plants
in individual regions. We have cooperations with Pfalzwerke AG lud-
wigshafen, the utilities Stadtwerke Mainz AG, Stadtwerke Aachen and
partners from Offenbach, Kiel and Bern. Both parties profit from the
joint-venture: juwi from the local know-how of cooperation partners;
the utilities from juwi’s experience and expertise.
The use of these systems in a 100 percent renewable energy combina-
tion guarantees high supply reliability – today and in the future. juwi has
long-term supply and maintenance contracts with the leading system
and component manufacturers. Thus, project by project, we have access
to the best technologies for the particular region at good conditions.
The power produced by our systems is guaranteed by law in many
countries to be purchased and compensated at a set price. This
enables banks and investors to calculate the effect of our projects
over periods of more than 20 years. In addition, at good locations,
we are able to pass on the cost benefits of economic wind power
production directly to our customers. The power is not compensated
for by Germany‘s Renewable Energy Law (EEG); it is sold directly to
communities or to residents as part of a public power model.
juwi generates the best yields by taking on the technical management
of the power plants. In addition, we are happy to take over all of the
business and organizational management of a project. This way, we
can continually optimize the efficiency of the power plants and the
profitability of your investment.

FOR A lIVAblE FUTURE
We are convinced that only a clean, sustainable energy system can preserve the means of liveli-hood for future generations.
A respectful treatment of the environment is our benchmark, not only
in project management. Our headquarters in Wörrstadt, Rhine-Hesse,
give proof of that. juwi employees work in a state-of-the-art, energy-
efficient office building. Photovoltaic modules on facades, carports,
and roofs produce clean solar power on an area of 12,000 square
meters. juwi’s headquarters have been extended several times. It is
equipped with efficient building technology and currently offers space
for work and communications as well as for creativity and relaxation
on approximately 17,000 square meters. Generous outdoor facilities
for sport and recreation, the children‘s day care center “juwelchen“,
and a fitness room are part of the ensemble. All of this contributes to
the employees work-life balance, as well as the cafeteria “juwitality”
where meals are mainly prepared with ingredients from the region.
juwi’s history begins in 1996. Fred Jung and Matthias Willenbacher
realize their first wind projects in Rhineland-Palatinate. In 1999, juwi
enters into the photovoltaic market, and in 2001 into the bio energy
market. The company starts its international activities in 2000 with
wind and solar power projects in France and the Americas, and
enters into markets in Southern and Eastern Europe. In 2008, juwi
moves its headquarters to one of the world’s most energy-efficient
office buildings in Wörrstadt. One year later, juwi starts to be active
in the areas of geothermal energy, hydropower and e-mobility. In
2010, juwi enters into markets in South Africa, Chile, India and Great
Britain, and creates a new business area “Green Buildings”. In 2011,
juwi celebrates its 15th anniversary with more than 1,400 employees
worldwide and participates in storage technology research.
juwi is a great place to work. That is what a majority of juwi employees
thinks. By voting in the renowned “Great Place to Work” competition,
they helped juwi to be among the Top 20 in the category business with
500 to 2,000 employees in 2011. In 2010 juwi was among the Top 50.
The award, in addition to other criteria, documents the excellent
team spirit and the good atmosphere that juwi employees enjoy and
that they live every day. juwi has been awarded several times for its
business philosophy and its headquarters, amongst others with the
German Climate Protection Prize in 2008 and the Clean Tech Media
Award in 2009.
