PNE Group receives permits for two new wind farms and a ground-mounted photovoltaic power plant

• The licences enable the installation of around 185 MW of renewable energy
• Once commissioned, the plants will be able to supply a total of 73,000 three-person households with electricity per year.

Cuxhaven, 04 April 2025 – The PNE Group has received the necessary permits for the construction and operation of two onshore wind farms in Hesse and a ground-mounted photovoltaic power plant in Brandenburg.

Six wind power turbines with a nominal output of 5.5 MW each and a total nominal output of 33 MW are currently planned for the Herzhausen wind farm in central Hesse.
The Welsche-Lied wind farm in northern Hesse is to consist of four turbines. According to the current planning status, three turbines with 7.2 MW each and one turbine with 6.2 MW are planned. The total output of the wind farm would therefore be 27.8 MW.

The Altlandsberg photovoltaic power plant is located in the town of the same name in Brandenburg. It is equipped with around 200,200 modules and has a total rated output of around 124 MWp.

With a total nominal output of 184.8 MW, the two wind farms and the photovoltaic power plant will be able to cover the annual electricity requirements of around 73,000 three-person households once they are commissioned.

‘The licences received are an important step for our further growth,’ explains Heiko Wuttke, CEO of PNE AG. ‘They give us the opportunity to further expand our own generation portfolio.’

The PNE Group's strategy focuses on growth in all areas and provides for a balanced mix of project sales and the expansion of its own wind and photovoltaic power plants. The medium-term targets for project development remain ambitious: By 2027, the own generation portfolio is to be expanded to 1.1 GW in operation or under construction and the project pipeline is to comprise 10 to 15 GW.
