Investments in renewable energies Our Law Firm at Windenergietage 2025 in Potsdam

Why Windenergietage Matter for the Industry

Windenergietage has for many years served as a central meeting platform for the German wind energy sector. The conference connects developers, investors, manufacturers, advisors, regulatory institutions, and media, offering:

• an exchange of practical experience,
• presentations of new technologies,
• market and trend analysis,
• and discussions on legal, tax and financial challenges of the sector.

The combination of exhibitions, panel debates, and thematic forums fosters long-term partnerships and cross-border cooperation.

Our Participation – Strong Representation and Active Contribution

Our law firm was represented by:

• Attorney-at-law Henning von Zanthier, Partner
• Attorney-at-law (PL) Łukasz Dachowski, Partner
• Attorney-at-law (PL) Jakub Wysocki

Our experts led two thematic roundtables that attracted a broad audience. The sessions focused on:

The aim was to provide practical, reliable insights and discuss real investment conditions.

Additionally, we gave an interview for the magazine Erneuerbare Energien on the status and prospects of the Polish wind energy market.

The online article is available under the title: “Windmarkt Polen: 10H-Regel weiter mit Ausnahmen bis 700 Meter.”

Presentations at the “GO EAST Poland” Expert Forum
