Nadara, an international renewable energy, and the largest independent power producer (IPP) of onshore wind in Europe has announced its long-term business expansion strategy.
According to the company’s statement forwarded to Energy Window International through a very familiar energy information source, the expansion was to ensure scale-up and accelerated growth toward realizing the value of its 18GW development pipeline over the next 10 years while maximizing, simultaneously, stakeholder value from its existing operational portfolio.

The company’s Chief Executive Officer Toni Volpe was quoted to have said: “At Nadara we are already operating at scale. Our newly combined position as one of Europe’s largest independent renewable energy companies gives us the flexibility and agility to scale even more efficiently. It will enable us to create sustainable partnerships with communities and local businesses to deliver tangible impact extending beyond decarbonisation to providing reliable power as well as societal benefits.
“Nadara’s culture is based on our care for people and the connections we make, both within our teams and with others, enabling us to evolve.
“It has excellent in-house capabilities with which to develop and manage its pipeline of floating offshore wind, under-construction photovoltaic plants, onshore wind and battery storage in an agile and efficient way.”
The company’s business strategy, the statement revealed comprised four pillars of operational excellence driven by enhanced digital and AI-driven tools and active advanced asset management; strong in-house energy markets competencies and dispatch capabilities; conversion excellence of the pipeline into operational projects with emphasis on value creation from the existing asset base through repowering, overpowering and colocation while driving a scalable platform that creates value toward achieving all-round efficiency. It also aims to deliver increased value to its stakeholders and communities in core regions, backed by investors focused on long-term value creation and a growing presence in the industry.
