UKA – THE ENERGY FARM DEVELOPERTOGETHER FOR THE ENERGY REVOLUTION

UKA has been planning, building and operating wind farms and their infrastructure

since 1999. The Group has around 50 wind farms connected to the grid and a project

pipeline of more than two gigawatts, making it one of the leading German wind farm

developers. Furthermore, UKA has tapped into new business areas and is also

involved in implementing solar energy projects.

UKA is a full-service company offering all services up to turnkey handover. Afterwards,

its subsidiary UKB Umweltgerechte Kraftanlagen Betriebsführung GmbH will ensure

the best possible technical and commercial performance throughout the asset

life-cycle.

The Group currently employs more than 500 people in Meissen, Cottbus, Rostock,

Lohmen (in Mecklenburg), Erfurt, Oldenburg, Bielefeld, Hanover and Grebenstein

(near Kassel). In addition, UKA is currently expanding its business operations in other

European markets. Furthermore, the subsidiary UKA North America LLC is promoting

promising renewable energy projects in the US out of Stuart (USA/Florida).

UKA supports the concept of a decentralised energy revolution. The Group assists its

partner communities and their residents with the implementation of their renewable

energy projects.

UKA’s planning offices are therefore located in the same regions as its wind and

solar farms. The UKA specialists at each office understand the unique needs of

their local areas, meaning they can adapt solutions to the needs and desires of

their communities.

OUR PARTNERS

NILS DE BAARPRESIDENT OF SBU VESTAS NORTH & CENTRAL EUROPE

SILVIO SCHAPPLANDOWNER IN GÖLLNITZ

“Contractual agreements in connection with planning and instal-ling wind turbines have been in place for many years now between the town of Uebigau-Wahrenbrück and UKA. During this period, we have come to know UKA and its representatives as reputable, reliable partners. With each project, UKA sought to enter into a dialogue with us right from the start and include our wishes in the plans.”

“As the world’s leading manufacturer of wind turbines, Vestas has supported UKA’s project development business for more than 30  years. This experience has taught us that successfully implementing wind energy projects requires partners with whom you can enjoy long-term relationships built on trust. The UKA Group has been precisely this kind of partner to us for two decades. In a dynamic industry like ours, this represents a unique expression of mutual trust. Thanks to its reliable performance in the market and its forward-thinking, level-headed governance, UKA has laid excellent foundations for future growth.”

“I feel that I am in good hands with UKA thanks to the superb personal support offered. The project and construction processes were explained to me in detail and if I have any questions there is always someone available to answer them.”

UKA – A STRONG PARTNERJOIN THE ENERGY REVOLUTION

The energy revolution is a once-in-a-lifetime social project depending on the support

of various partners. Whether you are a landowner, resident, community, partner or

investor: UKA is the expert at your side. Benefit from our long-standing knowledge

and project experience.

LANDOWNERS

· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·

More and more landowners are benefiting from the energy revolution. By leasing their

farmland and pasture they are creating an additional source of income for themselves

and their families.

Where landowners capitalise on wind turbines, only comparatively little space is

required. The surrounding fields can continue to be cultivated. Wind energy can be

utilised not only in fields, but also in forests and on former landfills and recultivated

mining sites.

If the wind is less strong solar farms utilising photovoltaic technology can be a

viable alternative. Areas producing low agricultural yields can be especially attractive

locations for these projects.

RESIDENTS AND COMMUNITIES

· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·

The energy revolution is the project of the century. It is supported by communities

and residents throughout Germany. Quite rightly, they no longer wish to have the

burdens of energy projects simply imposed on them – they also want the opportunity

to actively participate in local value creation.

UKA is the largest energy farm developer in Germany and takes this into account

during all phases of planning and realisation. Communities and their residents

can work together with UKA and benefit financially and economically from the

collaboration. This not only provides an extra source of revenue, but also creates

independence for the future.

UKA can acquire project rights and offer support at every stage of a wind or solar farm

project as a financially strong partner with proven experience in implementation –

no matter what type of technology is involved. UKA brings excellent capital resources

and proven expertise in complex permitting processes. In addition, the company

benefits from significant cost advantages in tendering processes through long-term

framework agreements with leading wind turbine manufacturers.

UKA secures flexible project finance through its long-standing relationships with

banking partners. Our partners can also rely on attractive cooperation and remu-

neration models, as well as open and committed communication and transparent

documentation.

UKA regularly sells turn-key onshore wind and solar farms to institutional investors,

investment funds, insurance providers and utilities. UKA offers the acquisition of

individual wind and solar farms or a park portfolio, making it possible to build a

portfolio that facilitates diversification in terms of size and geographical location.

In the last three years, a total capacity of around 560 MW has been sold to Allianz

Global Investors, Talanx, Hansa Invest, Aquila, Commerz Real, among others.

PREVIOUS PROJECTSUKA IS GROWING

The Group has so far installed 344 wind turbines with an overall capacity of 867 MW.

The company has enjoyed particularly strong growth since 2014, during which UKA

has connected more than 500 MW of wind energy to the grid. In doing so, UKA has

commissioned several wind parks in forest areas and thereby gathered considerable

expertise in this area.

UKA is also installing its own electricity infrastructure for the generated electricity

to be fed into the grid with only minimal transmission losses.
