GreenBreeze & Youwind: When Experience teams up with the Right Tools

July 1, 2026 Articles & PR | Offshore 3 min read time

In offshore wind, experience is everything. It shapes decisions, anticipates risks, and turns complexity into clarity. But even the most seasoned experts know that experience alone isn’t enough, having the right tools can make all the difference.

That’s exactly where the story of GreenBreeze and Youwind begins.

Built on Experience, Driven by Ambition

GreenBreeze may be a young company on paper, but its foundations run deep.

Based in Belgium, GreenBreeze was co-founded by Edward van Melkebeek, Mathias Van Steenwinkel and Peter Caluwaerts, three professionals who, together, bring more than 60 years of international experience in offshore wind. Over the years, they have been at the forefront of innovation and execution, shaping projects across different markets and conditions.

Together with strategic partners, GreenBreeze is designed as a focused development and selective investment platform that enables institutional capital to access high-quality offshore wind opportunities, support the energy transition and create lasting value for investors and society.

It is hands-on, grounded experience and guidance for companies ready to invest and to accelerate the build out of offshore wind.

A Natural Fit from Day One

The GreenBreeze-Youwind collaboration wasn’t a typical discovery process. The GreenBreeze team already knew Youwind well. They had seen firsthand the kind of results the platform could deliver, and more importantly, they trusted its methodology from their past positions in leading companies within the industry.

So, when the time came to select the right digital solution, the decision felt obvious.

Adopting Youwind wasn’t just about adding another tool to their workflow. It was about integrating a platform that could match their level of expertise and enhance the way they deliver value.

And just like that, the new collaboration began, one rooted in shared knowledge, mutual respect, and a common vision for faster wind farm development.

As Project Manager Ward Van Geem of Greenbreeze explains:

“Youwind is clear for what it is there. It will help you develop your wind farm. You can use the Youwind platform with minimum effort and you will get meaningful results, and you can also go into much detail to optimize going forward.”

His words capture something essential: simplicity and sophistication don’t have to be opposites. With the right platform, they can go hand in hand.

A Collaboration Built on Shared Standards

For Youwind, partnering with GreenBreeze is more than just another collaboration, it’s a meeting of like-minded professionals who approach their work with the same mindset.

There’s a shared emphasis on quality. A shared passion for offshore wind. And a shared understanding that meaningful progress comes from combining expertise with the right digital solutions.

Having known the founders of GreenBreeze for years, the Youwind team recognized immediately the value they bring to the industry.

As Edvald Edvaldsson, co-founder and CTO of Youwind, puts it:

“For us, it’s a privilege and an absolute joy to work with them. It’s not about replacing expertise with software. It’s about amplifying that expertise, making it more efficient, more scalable, and more impactful.”

With GreenBreeze bringing decades of offshore experience and Youwind providing a grounded, high-performance digital platform, the combination is a powerful one.

Because in the end, progress in wind energy doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens when the right people and the right tools come together, aligned by a shared purpose.
