Twentieth Anniversary of deugro in Denmark – Over 200 wind energy projects successfully executed

Jan 03, 2023

On January 1, 2023, deugro Denmark A/S, one of the leading service providers for the logistical execution of wind energy projects, celebrated its 20th anniversary.

deugro Denmark is located in Herning, Middle Jutland, close to the booming wind energy industry and its turbine manufacturers. Its founding 20 years ago was an important step towards being one of the leading project forwarders for wind and renewable energies.

It all took off with the very first clients NEG Micon (which later merged with Vestas) and Bonus Energy (which was acquired and taken over by Siemens Energy). The first major wind power projects deugro Denmark successfully carried out were the NEG Micon, Yuya and the Bonus Nine Canyon US Projects, both executed in 2003.

deugro Denmark is led by Hans Henrik Groen as Branch Manager and Managing Director, who also has 20 years of in-depth experience in the wind energy industry—as a project logistics expert at deugro as well as through his previous positions on the side of the wind turbine manufacturers Siemens, Vestas and Nordex. Today, deugro Denmark employs nearly 20 project forwarding professionals with altogether more than 130 years of experience in the logistical execution of onshore and offshore wind energy projects. Since 2003, they have successfully completed 214 wind energy projects in over 40 countries—a total volume of 3,835 wind turbines equaling 9,044,000 freight tons.

Highlights within the past 20 years include the Scottish Whitelee Project in 2009, which was the largest onshore wind farm in the world at the time, and the Swedish Björnberget Onshore Project with a total volume of 500,000 freight tons (nearly 50,000 metric tons) and consisting of 840 wind power components, including tower segments with a diameter of six meters, the largest onshore tower segments ever transported by deugro. They were moved from the ports of Gävle and Soderhamn to the project site in Björnberget, Sweden.
