Windfang is Germany’s pioneering women-run energy cooperative, born from a determination to actively shape the energy transition. Founded in 1991 by female engineering and natural sciences students, the cooperative set out to build wind turbines and make a difference. Today, Windfang boasts eleven wind turbines and three solar plants, with an inaugural 2.5 MW turbine leading the charge in renewable electricity generation. Beyond their significant climate impact, they are rewriting the narrative of gender equality in the energy sector. With all leadership positions held by women, they are not only generating sustainable energy but also women to thrive in traditionally male-dominated domains. Windfang is leading the charge in championing innovative, women-centric solutions to address climate change and redefine the energy landscape towards a more inclusive future.
