PNE Group has received permits to construct and operate three new onshore wind projects in Germany with a total capacity of 46MW.
In Brandenburg, the existing Gerdshagen wind farm will be expanded by one additional turbine, while in Hesse, a single turbine with a capacity of 7.2MW is planned for the Holzhäuser Berg wind farm.
Five new turbines, with a total output of 33MW, will be constructed for the Niederkrüchten wind farm in North Rhine-Westphalia.
This is part of the planned Niederkrüchten energy park also being developed by PNE, which will include a photovoltaic plant with a nominal output of 20MWp.
With a total nominal capacity of 46MW, the three wind farms will be able to meet the annual electricity needs of around 36,000 three-person households once operational.
“The permits granted are an important milestone for our continued growth,” said Roland Stanze, chief operating officer at PNE. “They not only confirm the successful progress of our project development, but also our many years of experience with complex approval processes.
“This strengthens a central pillar of our strategy – the development of sustainable energy projects in the fields of wind, photovoltaics, and future technologies such as Power-to-X and storage solutions.”
