2015: Sale of the British subsidiary PNE WIND UK

In 2015, PNE took a strategic step by selling the British subsidiary PNE WIND UK together with the projects it had developed. The purchase price was up to 103 million pounds, which was the equivalent of around 141.5 million euros at the time of the transaction. The first instalment of around 40.1 million pounds was paid in 2015, with further payments to be made upon achieving defined project milestones. 

The sale was an operational success and part of a strategic realignment. The entire project pipeline was transferred to the buyer Brookfield, while the employees of PNE WIND UK were taken on. At the same time, PNE adapted its own organisation to the changed market conditions and reviewed its employee structure in the process. 

With the sale of the Scottish wind farm ‘Sallachy’ in 2024, the last project developed by PNE in the UK changed hands. PNE has obtained approval for nine wind turbines with a total capacity of 53 megawatts and secured the land. More than ten years after the initial idea, the project has been successfully completed.
