Mercedes-Benz Group AG is placing major bets on wind projects to keep its operations buoyant in the midst of Europe’s energy crisis.

The luxury-car maker is signing up with an energy company to tap a massive wind park in the Baltic Sea starting in 2027. This follows an announcement last month that Mercedes plans to build a wind farm at its Papenburg test track in northern Germany.
