GEWI expands its core business of direct marketing internationally: GEWI Sp. z o.o. supports plant operators in Poland with comprehensive services.
Warsaw/Hanover, 18.01.2022 - The direct marketing company from GETEC ENERGIE GmbH (GETEC ENERGIE), together with Umwelt Management AG UMaAG and Energiequelle GmbH, is establishing a subsidiary in Poland to support operators of wind power, photovoltaic and biogas plants in Poland in marketing their green electricity throughout Europe.
GEWI Sp. z o.o., founded in 2021, will take the core business of GEWI GmbH (GEWI) across the national border to Poland and ensure further growth in the marketing of green electricity. Poland offers interesting opportunities for the marketing of electricity from renewable energy sources: In 2020, the Polish government announced that at least 23% of gross final energy consumption should come from renewable energy sources by 2030. As a result, it is expected that many new generation plants will be built in Poland. In addition to traditional direct marketing on the electricity exchanges, GEWI Sp. z o.o. also offers plant operators long-term PPAs, trading in guarantees of origin and property rights as well as other supplementary energy industry services."Our main goal is to support the energy transition in Poland by creating attractive cooperation models for entrepreneurs in the renewable energy sector. We are an extremely flexible company that puts the customer's wishes and needs first. We are characterized by an individual and professional approach to each client," says Małgorzata Kucharska, Managing Director of GEWI Sp. z o.o., explaining her motivation for the new company."In addition to strengthening the direct marketing business within GETEC ENERGIE, the establishment of GEWI Sp. z o.o. also means an expansion of our plant pool in order to meet the increasing demand from our industrial customers for green electricity via PPAs," says Cord Wiesner, Managing Director of GETEC ENERGIE, explaining the background to the expansion.The GEWI GmbH is a subsidiary of GETEC ENERGIE and has been involved in the marketing of electricity from renewable energy sources since 2009. Today, GEWI is one of the most successful independent companies in the direct marketing of electricity from renewable energy sources, especially wind. Since 2011, GEWI has continuously expanded its portfolio and now markets around 4,000 MW for its customers.Since 1997 the Energiequelle GmbH has been active in the renewable energy market since 1997. The company develops, builds and operates wind energy and photovoltaic systems, transformer stations and energy storage systems. With over 300 employees at 17 locations in Germany, France and Finland, Energiequelle has built more than 750 plants to date.Clean. Climate-friendly. Sustainable.
