The PNE Group obtained necessary permits under the German Federal Immission Control Act (BImSchG) in the fourth quarter of 2025 for the construction and operation of two wind energy projects in Germany. The permits relate to the ‘Am Heilborn’ wind farm in Thuringia and the repowering of the ‘Hassendorf’ wind farm in Lower Saxony.
For the Thuringian wind farm ‘Am Heilborn’, which consists of the sections ‘Am Heilborn I’ and ‘Am Heilborn II’, a total of five Vestas V172 wind turbines with a nominal output of 7.2 MW each are planned to be erected. The wind farm will thus achieve a total nominal output of 36.0 MW. PNE has also received the second partial permit for the repowering of the Hassendorf wind farm in Lower Saxony. This concerns another Vestas V150 wind turbine with a nominal output of 6 MW. Two turbines of the same type had already been permitted in June 2025. With the current permit, the project with a total of three turbines and a total nominal output of 18 MW has been fully permitted.
With a total installed nominal output of 54 MW, the two wind farms will be able to cover the annual electricity needs of around 24,600 three-person households once they are commissioned. They will thus make an important contribution to sustainable energy supply and the implementation of the energy transition in the respective regions. Roland Stanze, COO of PNE AG, stated that the current permits are an important step for the company's growing project portfolio in Germany. He noted they demonstrate a high level of expertise in complex permit procedures and lay the foundation for the further expansion of own generation capacities and commitment to an economical and sustainable energy transition.
