About EWT B.V.

EWT B.V., established in 2004, is a key player in the distributed wind energy sector. The company's core business revolves around the manufacturing and installation of direct-drive wind turbines with capacities ranging from 250kW to 1MW, specifically designed for localized energy generation. Its primary mission is to facilitate the energy transition for a diverse client base that includes individuals, businesses, and entire communities by enabling them to become distributed energy producers. EWT's business model is multifaceted, generating revenue through the direct sale of its turbines, comprehensive project development services, and ongoing operational support and maintenance. This integrated approach simplifies the adoption of wind energy for its customers, which range from energy consumers to producers and investors.

The company's operational footprint is global, with over 600 turbines successfully installed across North America, Europe, and Asia, a testament to its fifteen-plus years of experience in the field. EWT's product line is distinguished by its direct-drive technology, which enhances reliability and efficiency, thereby lowering the levelized cost of energy for its users. Beyond hardware, the firm provides extensive services that cover the entire project lifecycle, from initial site assessment and permitting to installation and grid integration. In a strategic move to broaden its offerings, EWT is also expanding into integrated energy solutions, combining its wind technology with other generation sources like solar, as well as incorporating energy storage and advanced grid management systems. This positions the company not just as a hardware supplier but as a comprehensive partner in the decentralized energy market.

The leadership team includes CEO Rob van der Hage, COO Wouter de Groot, CCO Sander Geelen, and CFO Mark Jonkhof. EWT was acquired by the private equity firm Blue Bear Capital in 2022, a move intended to accelerate its growth and solidify its market position, particularly in North America. This acquisition provides the financial backing and strategic guidance necessary for EWT to scale its operations and enhance its service offerings, further driving the adoption of distributed energy resources globally.
