1995: The beginnings of PNE with the founding of the company

The roots of today’s PNE AG can be traced back to 1979, when Norbert Plambeck founded a group of companies in Cuxhaven with his father Otto Plambeck. In the mid-1990s, there was a greater focus on the subject of wind energy. In 1995, Windpark Marschland GmbH was established within the group, a company specialising in the development of wind energy projects, thereby laying the foundations for today’s PNE AG. 
The name “PNE” stood for “Plambeck Neue Energien” and reflected the aspiration to break new ground in the energy supply sector – at a time when many reservations were still being voiced about wind power in Germany.
