Interim Target Clearly Exceeded: PNE Expands Own Operations With the Commissioning of Two Further Wind Farms

Cuxhaven, Germany - At the turn of the year 2023/24, the PNE Group commissioned two wind farms in Schleswig-Holstein and transferred them to its own operations. The wind farms were erected in the municipality of Hamwarde, district of Herzogtum Lauenburg (Nordex turbines), and near Stuvenborn, district of Segeberg (Vestas turbines).

The takeover of the two wind farms with a total capacity of 21.6 MW into the company's own operating portfolio increases the total nominal capacity of the PNE Group's wind farms to 370 MW.

"As a provider of clean energy solutions, we aim to have wind energy and photovoltaic systems with an output of 1,500 MW/MWp in operation or under construction by the end of 2027. With the commissioning of the two wind farms, we are well on our way to achieving this goal", says Markus Lesser, CEO of PNE AG.

A further eleven wind farms of the PNE Group with a capacity of approx. 281 MW are currently under construction, which are to be transferred to PNE’s own generation portfolio after commissioning. With the 370 MW in operation, approximately 651 MW are in operation or under construction. The PNE Group has thus significantly exceeded its strategic interim target of having wind farms with a capacity of 500 MW in operation or under construction for its own operation by the end of 2023.
