1997: The company’s first own wind farm

After founding Windpark Marschland GmbH in Cuxhaven, PNE quickly turned its attention to putting its ideas into practice. Just two years later, in 1997, the first of the company’s own wind farms was completed in Nordleda.  

By the end of 2002, it had built a total of 56 wind farms with 320 wind turbines in Germany. These projects laid solid foundations for further development. The company’s success in acquiring suitable sites on land proved to be one of its key strengths. 

At that point in time, PNE had already secured a project portfolio with a total volume of more than 1.8 billion euros.
