juwi extends headquarters anew

Dear friends of the juwi group, The juwi group is actively developing business areas and new markets for renewable energies. We are also stimulating the labour market worldwide and supporting sustainable development. A visible sign of this development is the new expansion of our company headquarters in Wörrstadt. The construction of the two additional building sections kicked off in February. Both wooden office buildings will be finished by our Open House on 3 July, which you are cordially invited to attend. This will give us the space for over 700 employees at our headquarters in Rhinehessen, Germany.

But the juwi group is not only growing in Wörrstadt. All of our locations, both national and international, are undergoing successive expansion. We will be hiring around 300 new employees this year, so at the end of the year, juwi will employ over 1,000 employees in forward-looking working spaces serving one of the most fascinating sectors in the world. This broad-based and solid growth is only possible because our business projects in all divisions are flourishing and because we are becoming increasingly international. If you would like to find out more information about our successful projects, especially those in the USA, just keep on reading.

It is precisely because we are international and have a broad base of operations that we are better able to cope with unexpected legal developments in the area of renewable energies than other companies in the industry. This includes the further decrease in the feed-in compensation rate for solar power in Germany. Nevertheless, we will continue to invest a lot of our energy in discussing these issues with leading members of Parliament in order to procure the best possible conditions for our projects. This way, we will be able to redouble our efforts to develop solutions for rooftops, conversion areas and industrial areas as well as carports, greenhouses and other innovative concepts (e.g. roofing for sports fields). Independently of these developments, nearly half of the systems we built in 2010 are located outside of Germany.

Have fun reading this edition of “juwi news”.

juwi on its way to becoming a global player Expansion in Germany and abroad – USA as a large growth market

The juwi group, based in Wörrstadt, Germany, is on its way to becoming a global player. In Europe, the project developer for wind, solar and bio energy systems is already one of the leading companies in this sector. Now, juwi is also expanding rapidly in the Americas, one of the world‘s largest growth markets for renewable energies. In 2010, for the very first time, the group will have generated more sales abroad than in Germany. The total turnover for 2010 is estimated to increase again by 50 percent, to around EUR 900 million.

Consequently, after creating 350 additional jobs in 2009, juwi is looking to generate another 300 this year. Worldwide, of course. After all, “demand is high – not just in Germany, but all over the world. Not even 20 percent of the world‘s energy needs are currently being covered by renewable resources, so that means there‘s a lot of potential,” explains juwi CEO Fred Jung. “juwi is a mid-sized business with roots in this region, and at the same time, it‘s a global company. This healthy mixture is one of the reasons that we are so successful,” says CEO Matthias Willenbacher.

Besides Germany, Italy and France, the USA has developed into one of juwi‘s most important markets. In addition, the company is continuing to strengthen its presence in Latin America (Costa Rica) and Eastern Europe (Czech Republic, Poland) and is looking to expand into new markets (e. g. South Africa, India, Turkey).

FL juwi‘s activities in the United States juwi offices wind power solar power

The renewable energy specialist is planning a series of large projects in the USA and has already completed many projects, mainly in the area of solar. US subsidiary juwi solar Inc. constructed a free-field photovoltaic system (with a capacity of 2.2 MW) in Hackettstown, New Jersey, to provide the plant and headquarters of confectionery company Mars Snackfood with clean energy. Additional systems are currently being planned and constructed in Florida (15 MW), Ohio (12 MW) and Texas (16 MW). The company has become one of the leading ­providers of free-field solar installations in the USA – an excellent starting point.

“juwi is a mid-sized business with roots in this region, and at the same time, it‘s a global company.” juwi CEO Matthias Willenbacher

By 2012, the USA could develop into the most dynamic growth market in the world for photovoltaic systems. By then, it is predicted that more than USD 6 billion will be invested in this market. This is supported by one of the results of the study “The United States PV Market Through 2013: Project Economics, Policy, Demand and Strategy,” which was conducted by Greentech Media. The study shows that market participants in Germany in particular are likely to profit from this development. juwi has begun its first large project in the wind sector, the Flat Water Wind Farm (60 MW) in Nebraska. Additional wind farms of comparable sizes are to follow – in Kansas, Iowa, Ohio, Indiana, Minnesota, Michigan and other states. Over the next few years, juwi plans to develop a number of wind and solar systems with a capacity of 1,000 MW – in the USA alone.

Industry expert supports juwi‘s wind division – Frank Finzel works together with Marie-Luise Pörtner in management With the former Managing Director of Theolia Naturenergien GmbH (formerly NATENCO GmbH), Frank Finzel, the juwi group has won an experienced leader who knows his way around the sector. The 44 year old family man has been helping to strengthen the leadership team of the wind sector, where he has been working as part of a powerful double act, together with Dr. Marie-Luise Pörtner. Finzel studied business and over the course of his career, he has worked as a management consultant as well as a lecturer. At juwi, he works hard to make renewable energy competitive on the power market. He sees great potential for cooperation with cities and communities. “The direct marketing project in the collective municipality of Wörrstadt is a great first step.” In addition, in places where this is not already the case, Finzel would like to work more to convince politicians of the benefi ts of wind energy. In particular, Southern Germany has a great need for improvement in this area. Finzel was immediately impressed by the world of juwi: “The people here are highly motivated, you feel that straightaway.“

Entry into the direct marketing of affordable wind power In cooperation with the Elektrizitätswerke Schönau (EWS), the juwi group began the direct marketing of wind power at the beginning of this year. As part of this project, a fi xed power quota is purchased by the collective municipality of Wörrstadt. The community profits from the low cost of generating clean wind power right at the doorstep of juwi‘s headquarters in Wörr stadt. And with this flagship project, juwi and EWS show that power generated from modern, high-performance wind energy systems is already competitive on the market today. that purchased the project from juwi.

Solar

Solar power for Africa: juwi plans to build stand-alone photovoltaic systems to help ­provide power to 50 villages in the Senegalese provinces of Casamance and Fatick.

juwi brings energy to Senegal Development aid project: stand-alone solar power systems for 50 villages Power is a luxury for the people of Senegal. Most cities and communities located along main transport axes have electricity, but much of the rest of the country is cut off from the municipal power grid. The rest, a large majority of 11.5 million Senegalese, live in small, scattered villages in rural areas. These villages, which depend on subsistence farming, seldom contain more than 50 stone huts and shacks, one small shop and one or two tradesmen shops. “The main problem, apart from the poverty, is the sparse distribution of the settlements. Normally, people build their houses directly adjacent to their farms, so buildings are often separated by hundreds of metres of farmland,” explains Fabian Jochem, director of juwi‘s off-grid solutions division.

Poverty and settlement structures cannot be changed overnight, but we can certainly change the methods used to supply power to these communities. Take, for example, the Senegalese provinces of Casamance and Fatick: there, as part of a development project funded by the German Society for Technical Cooperation (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit – “GTZ”), 50 villages comprising around 2,500 households will be granted access to a powerful, clean source of energy tailored to suit their needs – thanks to the power of the sun and with a little help from juwi. The plan is to build 50 stand-alone photovoltaic systems with a capacity of five kWp each. These will serve as small open space installations designed to provide people with reliable power for small businesses schools, hospital wards and shops as well as for refrigerators and electrical lighting at home. juwi is playing a major role in this project. “To begin with, we won the contract for supplying the components – modules, batteries, substructures, inverters. But that‘s not all. We are supporting the GTZ in the conceptualisation of the project, organising the transportation of components and working together with the contractors to help train the local installation technicians who will be installing the systems,” says Jochem. As a graduate engineer, Jochem sees the GTZ project as a chance for a paradigm shift. “Up until now, people in rural Africa generally installed small solar home systems (SHS), but the energy produced by these systems is only about enough to allow for simple lighting,” he explains. “And it doesn‘t make sense, if all it achieves is to shed light on their own poverty. Electricity has to offer added value, a productive purpose – and it must bring about development.”

Black gold – new company markets the valuable dark earth, Terra Preta In 2010, the juwi group is planning yet another flagship project, also in the area of bio energy. This new project is called Palaterra GmbH and represents a cooperative effort between juwi and the Managing Director of areal GmbH, Joachim Böttcher. Together, in just a few weeks, they will be commissioning a pilot system on the Hengstbacherhof in the Donnersberg district in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. This project is the first in the world to focus on the production of the valuable dark earth, Terra Preta.

A research team working with Böttcher cracked the sought-after code of the highly humus-rich substrate, which was made thousands of years ago by advanced civilizations in the Amazon region out of plant residues and organic waste. It was so fertile that it was also referred to as “black gold.”

“There is huge potential here. Terra Preta not only makes soils low in nutrients fertile; it also binds large quantities of CO 2 , and so helps to protect the climate,” says Jürgen Bohn, Managing Director of juwi Bio GmbH. Things will really pick up in the second half of the year: at the Morbach Energy Landscape in Hunsrück, the construction on a production plant that will produce Terra Preta on a large scale is already beginning.
