One team with decades of shared experience
CYCAP stands for 25+ years of proven performance in a market that demands expertise and continuity over decades. Our platform is designed for long-term reliability and scalability. Our foundation is a multi-disciplinary team, a solid organizational structure, a focus on sustainability, and partnerships built on mutual trust.
What has guided us since our founding in 2000 is a clear conviction: resilience is built in day-to-day operations.
We live this conviction consistently: from the acquisition of our first wind parks in 2007, through the establishment of fully integrated management units in 2013 and the successful exits of our first three investment vehicles, to our repowering strategy in 2024. We are convinced that lasting value can only be created through lasting accountability.
