Bürgerwind Ammeloe GmbH & Co. KG

Bürgerwind Ammeloe GmbH & Co. KG is a German company active in the wind energy sector. Its name combines “Bürgerwind” (German for “citizens' wind” or “community wind”) with “Ammeloe,” a locality in the town of Vreden in North Rhine-Westphalia, where the company is based. GmbH & Co. KG is a legal form commonly used by German project companies—a limited partnership managed by a limited liability company—and is often employed to pool capital from local citizens and investors for renewable energy projects. The company is a project vehicle for community-owned wind power. Such citizens' wind companies typically develop, finance, build, and operate one or more wind turbines, selling the electricity generated to the German grid under the country's renewable energy support framework. Ownership usually rests with local residents and regional investors rather than large utilities, which is a fundamental characteristic of the citizens' wind model. Bürgerwind Ammeloe is registered in Germany and operates in the German market. Public information is limited to its existence as a German commercial entity; the evidence provided contains no detailed financial, technical, or ownership data. The company website buergerwind-ammeloe.de is the primary public contact channel.

Bürgerwind Ammeloe GmbH & Co. KG is a German company established as a community wind-energy project vehicle. The Bürgerwind model emerged in Germany as a way for local residents to own and benefit from renewable-energy installations, particularly wind turbines, rather than leaving development to large utilities. In this model, citizens buy shares or partnership interests in a project company, which then finances, builds and operates the wind farm. The company takes its name from Ammeloe, a locality within the municipality of Vreden in the district of Borken, North Rhine-Westphalia. The region is part of the Münsterland, a rural area with significant wind-energy development. The legal form GmbH & Co. KG indicates a limited partnership with a GmbH as general partner, a structure widely used for German project companies because it combines limited liability for investors with favorable tax and governance characteristics. Specific dates for the company's founding, the commissioning of its wind turbines, and its financial history are not available in the supplied evidence. The company is recorded as a German business entity and maintains a website at buergerwind-ammeloe.de. As with many Bürgerwind project companies, its operations are likely focused on the local wind farm and the sale of electricity under Germany's renewable-energy framework, but no further operational details can be confirmed from the available sources.
