About
Bundesverband Kleinwindanlagen is a ngo headquartered in Berlin, Germany specializing in Wind.
The Bundesverband Kleinwindanlagen (BVKW) is a professional association based in Berlin that represents the interests of small wind energy manufacturers and installers in Germany. The organization defines small wind turbines as systems up to 50 meters in height with power output up to 750 kW. BVKW promotes small wind energy as a key component of Germany's energy transition away from fossil fuels. The association provides members with technical expertise, regulatory guidance on building permits across German federal states, legal support through its advisory board, and advocacy for simplified permitting processes. Key focus areas include sector coupling (integration of wind turbines with battery storage and photovoltaic systems), technical standards compliance, and expanding small wind deployment through projects like "1000 Wastewater Treatment Plants." The board is led by Klaus-Dieter Balke (Chair), Joachim Sroka, and Ulf Herrmann.
