Axpo
„Along with its subsidiaries and partner companies Axpo has already

für Umweltmeteorologie mbH on several technical Due Diligence projects for
wind parks in Germany, France and Spain. On behalf of 8.2 the company anemos
evaluated already existing wind assessment reports as well as prepared energy
yield assessments based on the actual production data. This cooperation helped

wind parks as realistically as possible.“
