Mr. Kuehn, you are the Managing Director at GreenEnergyWorld GmbH. What is your motivation?

GreenEnergyWorld is working in a sector that is developing globally on such a scale, almost uncomparable to others. We are a young company, already covering a large range of European markets with our activities in the wind sector. It is this combination of internationality and trendsetting technology that makes our daily work with clients incredibly thrilling and motivating.

Looking at GreenEnergyWorld's logo you can read "connecting visions''. What are the implications for your business?

Initially, this might read as an advertising slogan. However, for us this is the central idea. Both, investors and project developers, have individual ideas of what they want to achieve with their work and their companies. As mediator we need to know the desires of both parties. Otherwise we would not be able to sell wind parks across Europe. Obviously, here our longterm experience with wind energy projects is very useful.

And your vision?

With our business we support the energy turnaround. Therefore, the satisfaction and the sucess of our clients comes in the first place. I think it is fascinating to see how a convincing vision sparks ideas and energy in our team. I am thinking about a good quote by Saint-Exupery: "If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea."

Well, that sounds much like sailing and wind. You are actually focussing on wind. That was not always the case.

Indeed, during the first year we dealed with solar and wind energy. Further development of the company and the know how that we have in our team have been showing that a focus on the marketing of wind energy projects is much more sustainable for our clients and for ourselfs. Talking about projects, we think of all stages - beginning with project development, but also building permitted and turn key projects, and including operating facilities. In the coming years we are expecting a growing supply of repowering projects.

At the first sale of a bulgarian wind energy project you have been on-site directly and conducted the project until the conclusion of the contract. You speak fluent Bulgarian and have accomanied the selling process until contract conclusion. What's up next in Bulgaria and what are your plans?

Bulgaria is intensively concentrating on the EU accession by advocating renewable energies. Except for hydropower, wind and solar energy have yet been barely utilised. It is our strategy to expand our presence on the wind energy markets of the new EU-States such as Poland and Bulgaria. After selling the 12.6 MW project we are expecting further marketing successes there in 2009.

Mr. Kuehn, what is your opinion for the wind sector in the following years?

Optimistic, because the future belongs to the renewables, irrespective of the financial crisis. In this spirit I wish all our clients and business partners a successful 2010.
