Skyborn Renewables
About
A German offshore wind company built from the offshore business of wpd, which Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) bought outright and relaunched as Skyborn after the deal closed in September 2022. GIP has itself been part of BlackRock since October 2024. Its projects run from the German North Sea and Baltic to Taiwan and the US, where it holds South Fork Wind and Revolution Wind in a joint venture with Ørsted. It describes itself as an infrastructure platform that develops, builds, owns and operates offshore wind assets, and since 2026 it has been sole owner of the operating Nordergründe farm in Germany. Its Gennaker project was financed with non-recourse loans from a group of lenders, with Stadtwerke München as a 25% equity partner.
