As part of the ROBUR RME business, EREDA will continue to operate with its own brand inside the ROBUR WIND portfolio.

At ROBUR, around 1,000 colleagues are already working in the Wind and Renewables sector across Europe, the Americas and Africa and are generating around 1/3 of the groups’ revenue. Founded in 2015, ROBUR has grown to 200m EUR in revenues in 2020 and focuses on driving digital transformation and ecological change of industries and industrial services in wind, water, energy, the process industry and industrials.

“Expanding our service offering by integrating the colleagues from EREDA into ROBUR RME and our ROBUR WIND portfolio was a natural step forward, strengthening our overall strategy and enhancing our engineering capabilities to grow faster in this vital industry sector” explains Jan-Jörg Müller-Seiler, CEO and Managing Partner of ROBUR.

EREDA (www.ereda.com) has 16 years of engineering experience in the Renewable Energy sector, offering services in Spain but also in other European countries, including Eastern Europe, as well as in Latin America and Africa. EREDA brings along substantial experience from different stages of project development and implementation, mainly in Wind, but also in Solar PV, Biomass, Energy Efficiency and Energy Planning.

Founded in the beginning of 2020, the Hamburg-based ROBUR RME (https://www.robur-rme.com/en/) is already delivering a holistic approach to the development, implementation and asset management of renewable projects.

ROBUR RME’s Managing Director Kurt Stürken is more than delighted to see EREDA join the ROBUR and be an integral part of ROBUR RME: “EREDA does not only bring a huge amount of experience and track record in the Renewables sector but is known in the industry for its dedicated engineers and ability to deliver competitive and high quality services. I am looking forward to working together with Cristobal and his team in the years to come and help our clients to generate more value out of their Renewable assets”.
