About
Founded in 2011, Bürgerwindrad Blauen e.V. is a ngo headquartered in Schliengen, Germany specializing in Wind.
Bürgerwindrad Blauen e.V. is a non-profit organization founded in 2011 to promote wind energy development on the Hochblauen mountain in the Black Forest. The association works on behalf of citizen energy cooperatives (Bürgerenergiegenossenschaften) to develop a cooperative wind farm project. The organization provides extensive public education on wind energy, addresses misconceptions, and advocates for decentralized, citizen-owned renewable energy infrastructure. Operating through a cooperative model rather than corporate investment, the association emphasizes democratic participation in energy transition and local economic benefits. The planned Bürgerwindpark Blauen project involves three cooperatives (BEGS eG, BwBlauen eG, EWS Schönau eG) operating as an equal partnership through the project company Bürgerwindpark Blauen GmbH & Co KG.
