UKA North AmericA LLc

UKA Group is headquartered in meissen, Germany. With a staff of approx. 500 and a turnover of 500 million US dollars (2016), UKA Group is a developer, owner and operator of wind farms in Germany: in 2016 UKA Group was the largest Vestas’ costumer in Germany, and, since 1999, has built more than 40 wind farms. UKA Group was formed in 1999 and is privately owned. the acronym UKA stands for “Umweltgerechte Kraftanlagen” (“environmentally-friendly power systems”) – entirely in line with the vision of a global energy transition towards a zero emission economy. in the first year, there were many hurdles to overcome; wind energy made up almost none of

the power supplied in Germany. only with the introduction of a feed-in tariff, the erneuerbare-energien-Gesetz (“re-newable energy Law”) in 2000 did the success story of re-newable energies begin; this law laid the cornerstone for the energy revolution in Germany. Within a few years, the founders made UKA Group into a successful planner and operator, which today sets new standards with respect to implementation and efficiency. the holding company is as-sisted by regional locations: in Germany alone, seven regi-onal offices ensure a direct line on-site to the communities they serve. And the growth has continued: since 2016, UKA Group is expanding onto the American market.

UKA North America LLc (UKA NA), has its offices in Schenec-tady (New York) and Stuart (Florida) and is managed by Dr. Kay Dahlke and Dr. ingo Stuckmann.

through a Joint Venture with Wind Works power corp (WWp), UKA NA has since acquired a 1 GW pipeline of wind and solar projects, and, WWp has incorporated experienced staff as well. managing director Dr. ingo Stuckmann and his team have successfully developed four wind farms in the US with a combined 436 mW in the past 15 years.

UKA NA safe harbored wind turbines for 30 million Dollar in order to qualify it’s wind projects for the production tax credit (ptc).

This city on the Elbe is known for the invention of porcelain in Germany, home of the famous Meissen-porcelain manufac-ture. Meissen is also the origin of the standard Ger-man language, on which Martin Luther based his Bible translation in 1522.
