RUDORA GmbH is now a member of the Bundesverband WindEnergie e.V. (BWE).

RUDORA GmbH (RdR) is now a member of the Bundesverband WindEnergie e.V. (BWE). This membership supports RdR’s independent EYA review work by providing structured access to sector information, specialist materials, and technical exchange within the association.

For readers outside of Germany, the BWE (German Wind Energy Association) is a leading advocacy and representative body for the country's wind power industry. With roughly 17'000 members, it serves as a central hub for the entire value chain - from manufacturers and developers to specialized technical consultants - functioning much like WindEurope or the American Clean Power Association.

The BWE represents these wind energy interests towards politics and the wider economy, pushing for favorable regulatory frameworks while providing a structured professional environment for its members. This includes regular, in-depth sector information—such as the bi-weekly "WindBrief" newsletter and interactive, real-time "BWE-PolicyBriefings" on federal politics. It also grants access to specialist materials, internal position papers, and reports via the member portal, alongside opportunities to actively participate in topic-based networks, working groups, and specialist committees.

RdR’s current focus is the independent review of energy yield assessments and related QA work. The objective is traceable reasoning and defensible uncertainty treatment for lender and investor scrutiny. Independent yield work can be supported where it is the right approach for the project, but the main contribution remains the review role.

Review work benefits massively from technical context. Methods evolve, interpretations shift, and “normal practice” changes over time. Access to current sector information, specialist references (such as the comprehensive industry platform and company directory at windindustrie-in-deutschland.de), and discounted professional development through the ee hub supports consistent, well-founded review work across projects. Furthermore, through our automatic integration with the Berlin-Brandenburg regional association and participation in regional dialogues at the Branchentage, RdR remains closely connected to local developments and challenges.

In addition to taking advantage of the general membership framework, RdR is taking steps to contribute again to an established technical peer exchange within the association that focuses on wind resource and energy yield assessment. The contribution will be practical: utilizing review effort, lessons learned from real projects, and feedback that supports clearer reasoning and more consistent documentation across the industry.

What OWnD Observed at Die Digital+ Konferenz Berlin

OWnD attended the “Die Digital+ Konferenz” on 10 February 2026 in Berlin. The event was organised by IHK Berlin, HTW Berlin (Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft Berlin) and Handwerkskammer Berlin, offering a programme on digital topics for decision-makers. Data sovereignty is not just for government. It matters for critical infrastructure too, including wind energy. A clear takeaway: sovereignty fails where the chain is weakest. Not at the “AI” headline level, but in the basics: infrastructure, data control, contracts, and security.

1) Public procurement is starting to move

A key message was the governmental will to treat Open Source as a serious option in public procurement. It was interesting to see this shift stated so clearly: Open Source is not framed as a special case, but as something that should be buyable in a structured and legally sound way. If this intent turns into standard templates and repeatable processes, it removes a major barrier to adoption.

2) People trust new tools when they can try them safely

Readiness comes from doing, not from slide decks. The suggested approach was simple: create a protected space to test, keep participation voluntary, and encourage exchange between teams. That is how acceptance grows while mistakes stay manageable.

3) The best examples focused on control, not hype

The most convincing examples did not focus on flashy demos. They focused on good practice: clear responsibilities, a review step for sensitive cases, and a record of what happened and why. In short: automate routine work, but keep humans responsible where impact is high.

4) Cybersecurity is part of the foundation

For OWnD, this is not abstract. As a digital-driven company building in-house automation and using Open Source AI tools, security is a daily topic. The event reinforced lessons we will apply:

  • share less data, by design
  • limit access rights and review them regularly
  • keep clear records of changes and outputs
  • keep Open Source components updated and well managed
  • separate experimentation from client work and critical systems


The EU AI gap was presented as real. The more useful question is where Europe can win. From an industry perspective, the strongest position is often industry-specific data and deep domain knowledge.


That is exactly where OWnD sees the future of wind analytics: specialised workflows built on high-quality data, with domain expertise embedded in the checks, assumptions, and review steps.
