than 1,400 qualified juwi employees are working passionately to achieve a comprehensive renewable energy mix. We combine various types of energy, thereby providing for the basic conditions needed to offer a complete supply of environmentally friendly power to private households, companies and communities based on demand.
Potential of renewable energies exceeds worldwide energy requirements Excellent conditions for the journey into the era of renewable energies: The potential is large enough to completely cover the world’s power and heat requirements with renewable energies.

INNOVATIONS FOR THE FUTURE In addition to planning and constructing wind farms and solar and bio energy plants, juwi promotes the expansion of renewable, decentralized supply systems with innovative concepts.
Efficient buildings with solar power production and the integration of electric vehicles into everyday life are key components of an innovative renewable energy system.

EVERYTHING REMAINS IN YOUR REGION Decentralized energies stimulate the economy, secure jobs, and prevent costs for the import of expensive raw materials.
The Morbach Energy Landscape Many regions profit from the tourism-related benefits of the boom in renewable energies. The best example is the Morbach Energy Landscape, east of Trier. Since 2003, 27,000 visitors from 80 countries have visited the location in Hunsrück to see juwi‘s planned and realized energy mix with their own eyes. Wind farm festivals, energy tours, hiking days and exhibitions also convince visitors elsewhere of the strategy that it is possible to solve global energy problems through clever on-site projects. • 14 x 2-MW turbines • Solar power plants on rooftops and in free-fields • Biogas installation with approx. 500 kW of electrical capacity and

In addition, we are happy to take over all of the business and organizational management of a project. This way, we can continually optimize the efficiency of the power plants and the profitability of your investment.

FOR A LIVABLE FUTURE We are convinced that only a clean, sustainable energy system can preserve the means of livelihood for future generations.
Great place to work juwi is a great place to work. That is what a majority of juwi employees thinks. By voting in the renowned “Great Place to Work” competition, they helped juwi to be among the Top 20 in the category business with 500 to 2,000 employees in 2011. In 2010 juwi was among the Top 50. The award, in addition to other criteria, documents the excellent team spirit and the good atmosphere that juwi employees enjoy and that they live every day. juwi has been awarded several times for its business philosophy and its headquarters, amongst others with the German Climate Protection Prize in 2008 and the Clean Tech Media Award in 2009.
