We do not want to use our technical know-how and our production capacities fort he installation of our own wind farms. On the contrary we will gladly provide our technology and our knowledge to all investors.
You will receive from us all necessary components for powerful offshore wind power plants. For one wind turbine or for a whole wind farm. Turn-key starting from the especially site adapted foundation structure to the last screw, of course including installation at site and with our unique jack-up platform.
The port of Emden provides an ideal location for our construction and assembly facilities. There is an excellent infrastructure on land and on the water, and an administration system which provides reliable service for modern offshore developments. The port of Emden is located directly on the River Ems and is equipped with cargo handling bridges, roll-on/rolloff plants and an efficient container terminal.
Our manufacturing facilities for ‘BARD 5.0’ WECs, are located in the Jarßumer port. We have a total area of almost 150,000 m2 directly in the port, which is not affected by tides, and has its own rail connection. Our production and assembly facilities have a total useful area of more than 36,000 m2. We can ship all parts of the nacelle and the rotor blades to the offshore site in the North Sea at all times through ‘Great sea sluice’, which is 260 m long and 40 m wide, 24 hours a day.
The project area is located about 100 km to the north of the Ems estuary and, therefore, Emden and its port provide us with the ideal base for the construction and subsequent operation of our offshore wind farm. In the long-term, BARD Engineering GmbH and its subsidiary, BARD Emden Energy GmbH & Co. KG, will employ around 600 people in Emden.
The entire region of Northern Germany will benefit from offshore wind energy expansion. Numerous politicians have recognised this fact at local and state level. They are very committed to wind energy at sea. They have provided favourable conditions for successful locating and investment on the coast of Lower Saxony.
The town of Emden has repeatedly shown that it is willing to continue investing in the infrastructure required. The government of Lower Saxony also sees immense development potential in offshore wind energy utilization, and supports companies with regard to official approvals required as well as location issues.

Power has been generated from wind for more than a quarter of a century on the north German coast. Today, more companies of the industry have their head offices here, in the region, rather than anywhere else. At the locations of BARD Engineering GmbH in Emden and Bremen, our engineers and scientists can work closely together with various companies and universities, for example University of Bremen, Oldenburg, East Frisian and Wilhelmshaven Polytechnic Universities, the ‘Centre for Wind Energy Research’ at Carl-von-Ossietzky University Oldenburg (ForWind) and Technical University Berlin. On account of the unique proximity of the wind energy industry and maritime economy, a large part of offshore wind energy research will be carried out between the Rivers Ems and Elbe in future. This makes it easier for us to recruit highly qualified staff directly from this region, and ensures a continuous exchange of information with regional expertise via efficient networks such as Wind Energy Agency Bremerhaven/Bremen (WAB).
We are following our path, and achieving our target: offshore wind power, the energy of the future.
In doing so we will guarantee you a strict adherence to delivery dates on your order. As for instance almost the whole manufacturing and assembly of our TRIPILE foundation structures is "roofed", therefore we can produce quickly and uninfluenced by the weather.
This will give you and us a deciding advantage.
