In response to the change in the EEG, Prokon changed the strategic direction of this area. The company currently has project planning offices in Itzehoe , Mainz , Potsdam , Paderborn , Danzig and Vaasa. Business areas Project developmentProkon's core business is the development of wind energy projects. It ended with the conversion of the GmbH into a cooperative on J and 42% losses for the creditors. The Itzehoe District Court opened the standard insolvency proceedings on May 1, 2014.

In order to increase the share of renewable energies in the German electricity mix, Prokon undertakes not to sell more electricity under this name than is produced in its own wind farms. Prokon StromSince 2013, Prokon has been selling electricity to private and business customers under the Prokon Strom brand with an annual consumption of 100,000 kWh. To this end, Prokon has set up service support points near wind farms, so that a service team can be on site within a short time in the event of a fault. The company has been working in the field of maintenance and servicing of wind farms since 2007, regardless of the manufacturer after the warranty expires.

BiomassProkon said it had expanded its activities to include the use of wood as a sustainable raw material. Due to the insolvency-related focus on the core business, Prokon has separated from this division and sold the shares in Prokon Pflanzenöl GmbH to Glencore. It was about the production of biodiesel and vegetable oil in an oil mill in Magdeburg.

In 2007, the conversion of the business model to profit participation rights as the only possibility of participation began. In addition, profit participation rights have been offered since 2003. Involvement of investors Investor modelSince 1998 Prokon has been offering 'ecological capital investments ' as limited partner participation in closed wind farm funds. The company also parted ways with this business area due to insolvency. From mid-2010, Prokon granted loans to HIT.

In 2007, Prokon brought forward the pending payment of the distribution guarantee for the 2006 financial year, thus compensating for the interest disadvantage from the delay in the previous year, which some limited partners had complained about. Light of the delay was the fact that the delivery times for wind turbines at that time up to two years amounted to more than usual because the wind power experienced a worldwide boom. The payment due in 2006 for the 2005 financial year was paid late to the private limited partners at the time , with reference to the weak wind yields , who then defended themselves legally. The Schleswig Higher Regional Court declared this procedure to be illegal, and the limited partners were entitled to compensation in the context of a reversal.

In December 2013 the Stiftung Warentest pointed out these business figures from Prokon. It was about the question of the distribution of profits: Are these generated by Prokon in real terms or, at least in part, paid for with the money of new investors.Prokon put the loss carryforward at group level up to Octoat 210 million euros, which resulted in negative equity of 171 million euros. According to the Handelsblatt , Prokon did not generate a sufficient return on equity in its core business of wind farms with existing wind turbines in the first quarter of 2011 to service the payments of eight percent on profit participation rights, which have been constant since 2006 Prokon achieved the greater part of sales and higher profits with the development of new wind farms. The Schleswig-Holstein Higher Regional Court confirmed the judgment of the first instance in a judgment of September 5, 2012.
