The PNE Group, an international clean energy solutions provider, announced today the sale of two wind farm projects in Germany to a small group of private investors. The projects, “Wulfsdorf A” in Schleswig-Holstein and “Kuhstedt III” in Lower Saxony, have a combined nominal capacity of 45 megawatts (MW). The transaction underscores the value of repowering and the attractiveness of PNE's projects to investors, while ensuring the company remains involved through operational management services.
Both wind farms are repowering projects, meaning they replace older turbines with modern, more powerful technology. This approach allows for significantly higher renewable electricity generation at sites already used for wind energy. The “Wulfsdorf A” wind farm, located in the district of Ostholstein, will feature two Vestas V150 turbines (6.0 MW each) and two Vestas V162 turbines (6.2 MW each), totaling 24.4 MW. Construction is already underway, with commissioning scheduled for December 2026. The “Kuhstedt III” wind farm, in the district of Rotenburg (Wümme), will consist of two Nordex N175 turbines (6.8 MW each) and one Nordex N163 turbine (7.0 MW), totaling 20.6 MW. Construction is also in progress, and the project is expected to be commissioned around the turn of 2026/27.
Based on expected electricity generation, the two wind farms will supply the equivalent annual electricity demand of approximately 31,000 three-person households per year. This clean energy contribution is a significant step toward increasing renewable energy capacity in Germany.
“By selling ‘Wulfsdorf A’ and ‘Kuhstedt III’, we continue our successful marketing of high-quality wind farm projects,” said Roland Stanze, COO of PNE AG. “Both projects demonstrate the value of repowering: we are making more efficient use of existing sites, deploying modern and highly efficient turbine technology, and significantly increasing renewable energy generation. At the same time, the transaction underscores the attractiveness of our projects to investors. Through the operational management services, we will also remain closely connected to the wind farms.”
Operational management for both wind farms will be provided by energy consult GmbH, a company within the PNE Group. This ensures that PNE's expertise continues to support the efficient operation of the wind farms.
The sale is part of PNE's successful track record of project disposals this year. Recently, PNE sold the “Romescamps” wind farm in France (10.8 MW), the “Bokel” wind farm in Germany (25.2 MW), a wind farm project in Poland with a planned capacity of 72 MW, and a photovoltaic project in Poland with approximately 40 MW capacity. These transactions highlight PNE's active role in the renewable energy market and its ability to develop and sell high-value projects.
The PNE Group, listed on the SDAX, has been a leading onshore wind farm project developer for over 30 years. Its focus is on developing wind and solar projects worldwide, as well as generating power from its own wind farms. The company covers all project planning phases, from site investigation and permitting to financing, construction, operation, and repowering. As a Clean Energy Solutions Provider, PNE also offers services for the entire lifecycle of wind farms and photovoltaic plants, including battery storage solutions to enhance the efficiency of renewable energies.
