The PNE Group received necessary permits under the German Federal Immission Control Act in the fourth quarter of 2025 for the construction and operation of two wind energy projects in Germany. The permits cover 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’, consisting of sections ‘Am Heilborn I’ and ‘Am Heilborn II’, five Vestas V172 wind turbines with a nominal output of 7.2 MW each are planned. This installation will achieve a total nominal output of 36.0 MW.
PNE also received the second partial permit for the repowering of the Hassendorf wind farm, concerning 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 combined 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 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 high expertise in complex permit procedures and lay the foundation for further expansion of generation capacities and commitment to an economical and sustainable energy transition.
