Quick question, how can you invest €52,000 per month? Or are you just slowly paying in inherited assets or similar?

@LeonStocks500 I currently cover the savings rate from current income, which is distributed over the months rather irregularly - on the year again quite evenly (late autumn to early spring super wind and in the summer lull). So practically quarterly distributions that are diverted to the clearing account. Are income from the operation of wind turbines or the sale of electricity and the shares of which I have inherited, not raised the company itself.

@WindkraftJAbitte I am very interested in the topic of wind power, if you have something to say about how you invested there or how smaller investors can also invest, I would be happy to hear from you :)

@Jonesek so i have never invested directly but inherited the company shares. my father has founded several companies and has himself taken care of the planning and projecting of the respective wind projects, i.e. has looked where one could build in our region (interesting locations). then deals were made with the land owners (leases, building encumbrances, easements) and the wind turbine ordered & the construction supervised.
Afterwards the electricity is more or less automatically taken off, the manufacturer company of the wind turbine usually takes over the maintenance for the first 15-20 years & it is (almost) passive income - like rental apartments but already with significantly more regulations and incidents - but more revenue and profit.

Now to your question how smaller investors can also invest. There are different types or approaches, but not everything is accessible to everyone. No. 1: A kind of cooperative participation as possibly a wind turbine is built very close to you and the residents can participate -> only in the narrower vicinity with new construction project (not mandatory but today often common to break the resistance of the village community). There you can also usually only buy a limited share and not "as much" you want. But often very worthwhile because you can invest in construction and planning costs - would never be offered to you on the market. No. 2: Similar principle but without local restrictions. Co-operatives etc. plan projects and you participate in it - be careful, with a worthwhile project no one needs money from outside but will raise as much money from the bank as possible and the bank will also provide it. It is often advertised with "direct investment" and great returns, but the main part then puts the project company in his pocket. Nowadays anyway, but my father has 20-25 years ago acquired shares in wind farms where about 50-100 people are invested with different investment capital and many have been very worthwhile - a wind farm on the coast especially. But that was the early days of wind energy and the risk was "higher" at that time or was perceived that way, today it won't work out that way anymore. Nr3: Operating companies and project developers are on the stock exchange: PNE, Greencoat UK etc. -> Disadvantage are shares and no PE shares, value accordingly eingepreist and partly also quite high, therefore only conditionally lucrative. No 4: you have your own property or know someone who would lease it to you, which is suitable for it and have the necessary equity capital. Of course depending on the project and the figures how much is necessary. Nevertheless, the planning costs alone are many hundreds of thousands that can also be quickly fürn arsch. Rather difficult but.
