Making Renewable Energy Even Better
At BayWa r.e. we r.e. think energy – solar, wind, and bioenergy. Our mission is to make renewable energy even better. Not only looking to what comes next, but actively shaping it.
Working with businesses, installers, developers, utility providers, investors and governments throughout the world, we are helping them to realise their renewable energy ambitions through our depth of knowledge and expertise.
Constantly setting new standards and reimagining solutions to how we will meet the world's future energy needs, we are committed to making renewable energy even better for our customers and society.

Crowdlending projects
While renewable energy benefits everyone in society, engaging and involving local communities who live near to proposed wind farms can be crucial to a project’s success.
At BayWa r.e., we are committed to working together with local communities and our colleagues in France have been leading the way with their involvement in the country’s pioneering adoption of ‘crowdlending’ to support windfarm development.
Solar Park Vine Farm
Based in South Cambridgeshire in the UK, Vine Farm Solar Park is one of the UK’s largest solar installations, spanning 88 hectares.
The impressive 146,000 panel utility scale site generates 46 MW, enough to supply 11,500 homes.
Via a 15-year Power Purchase Agreement, the world largest building society, Nationwide, is using the power from the solar farm to increase the amount of renewable energy it uses and to manage the environmental impact of its activities.
Our expert operations and management team is now in place to ensure maximum availability and yield optimisation for the plant at all times.
The BayWa Foundation
Whether it’s the food we eat, the energy we consume or the homes we live in, sustainability sits at the heart of our commitment to tomorrow’s generation. These are the pillars of our business and sustainability is at the heart of what we do.
The BayWa Foundation was founded in 1998 and promotes sustainable education projects in the areas of renewable energy, healthy nutrition and supporting talent.
The Foundation is special in that 100 percent of the donations go directly into the projects. BayWa AG, our parent company, covers all the administrative costs and matches every donation given.
Biogas Plant Pliening
As a leader in the German renewable energy market, the opportunity arose to save the award-winning Pliening biogas facility. Pliening is the oldest biomethane facility in Germany and it was a rescue mission that we were excited to take up.
Located in Bavaria, the plant creates natural gas and has a feed-in biomethane capacity of 485 Nm3 biomethane per hour (equalling around 5,300 kW), which makes an annual output of approximately 45 GWh.
Unfortunately, the previous owners could no longer continue with the plant as they were unable to keep up with its maintenance requirements. Through our raw material supply, we were already involved with Pliening and were able to quickly step in to save the plant.
Solar Park Barth III
Barth III is the latest chapter in a BayWa r.e. solar trilogy, which has seen us develop three major solar installations nearby to the Baltic Sea Airport Stralsund-Barth. Together, they create one of the largest solar parks in the region.
Regularly used by the German Chancellor, the airport provides important infrastructure for the region. But like many small airports with high operational costs, it’s a challenge to sustain commercially.
As well as providing enough green energy to power 15,000 homes, the scheme has also secured the future of Baltic Sea Airport.
Rooftop PV system
Founded in 1995 as a three-person team, KW automotive GmbH now has more than 200 employees at five locations worldwide.
Working in an energy intensive industry, KW automotive wanted to reduce its energy costs while also driving forward its sustainability agenda. The answer? The chassis experts turned to BayWa r.e. and a rooftop PV system for its facility at Fichtenberg, Baden-Wuerttemberg.
Off-grid Solution, Western Australia
Our projects can be lifechanging, no more so than in communities remote from the national grid where electricity may be unattainable to the people living in them. Even the smallest of projects can have the greatest of impacts.
Kandiwal, a small Community in the far north of western Australia, is one of many examples where a BayWa r.e. solar installation is generating power to support vital infrastructure.
Wind Park Bishopthorpe
Located in Lincolnshire, Bishopthorpe is an eight-turbine wind farm, generating 16.4 MW of clean green energy to the national grid.
Our team of experts value engineered the entire project and had it installed and generating electricity within a year, to qualify for the Renewables Obligation support scheme.
With a maximum blade tip height of 115 metres, and an impressive forecast net capacity factor of 35.5 percent, it attracted significant interest from investors before it became an important asset in the portfolio of leading renewable infrastructure fund, Greencoat UK Wind Plc.
