About
Founded in 2023, Grotwind is a private headquartered in St.Gallen, Switzerland specializing in Wind.
Grotwind is a wind energy project company developing a wind farm in the St. Margrethenberg area of Pfäfers, in the canton of St. Gallen, Switzerland. The project aims to utilize wind energy for sustainable electricity production in the Pfäfers, Valens, and St. Margrethenberg region. The consortium is led by Grotwind GmbH in partnership with St.Gallisch-Appenzellische Kraftwerke AG and SN Energie. The planned facility will consist of 3-4 modern wind turbines producing electricity for multiple thousands of households, with a particular focus on winter production when other renewable sources have lower output. Wind measurements conducted over 12 months at 80 meters height on the Fürggli and St. Margrethenberg locations have confirmed favorable wind conditions. The project incorporates comprehensive environmental impact assessments addressing bird and bat protection, water management, visual landscape impact, noise, and proximity to the UNESCO World Heritage Tektonikarena Sardona site. Public participation in the operating company is planned, and the project is designed to deliver regional economic benefits through land lease payments, tax revenues, and local job creation.
