PNE Group, a leading wind energy project developer, has successfully sold two wind farm projects 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). Both are repowering projects, replacing older turbines with modern, more efficient technology to significantly boost renewable electricity generation at existing sites.
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 Rotenburg (Wümme) will have a total capacity of 20.6 MW, comprising two Nordex N175 turbines (6.8 MW each) and one Nordex N163 turbine (7.0 MW). Construction is also in progress, with commissioning expected around the turn of 2026/27.
Based on expected electricity generation, the two wind farms will supply the equivalent annual demand of approximately 31,000 three-person households. '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 subsidiary of PNE Group. This sale continues PNE's strong track record of project disposals this year, following the sale of the 'Romescamps' wind farm in France (10.8 MW), the 'Bokel' wind farm in Germany (25.2 MW), a wind farm project in Poland (72 MW), and a photovoltaic project in Poland (approximately 40 MW).
The PNE Group, listed on the SDAX, has over 30 years of experience in onshore wind farm development. It focuses on developing wind and solar projects worldwide and generating power from its own wind farms. Its services cover all phases from site investigation and permitting to financing, construction, operation, and repowering. As a Clean Energy Solutions Provider, PNE also offers lifecycle services for wind and solar plants, as well as battery storage solutions. The sale of these repowering projects underscores PNE's commitment to optimizing existing wind sites and its ability to deliver attractive investment opportunities in the renewable energy sector.
