ENCAVIS, a leading pan-European Independent Power Producer in the Renewable Energy sector and headquartered in Hamburg acquires another wind farm from the PNE Group. The project, with a total capacity of 34 megawatts (MW), is located about 45 kilometres northeast of Hamburg and has already been in operation for two months. PNE’s subsidiary, energy consult GmbH, will take over the technical and commercial management of this wind farm in Schleswig-Holstein.

Mario Schirru, CEO of Encavis, says: 
“With the acquisition of the Bebensee wind farm, we are continuing our successful cooperation with PNE and increasing our wind portfolio in Germany to around 770 MW. This is another important contribution to the energy transition and strengthens our position as one of the leading providers of Renewable Energy in Germany and Europe.”

“We are delighted to work with Encavis again. Both companies are committed to expanding Renewable Energy and protecting the climate. With this sale, we once again demonstrate our flexibility as a project developer, bringing projects to market at any stage of development to suit our customers. By taking over the operational management, we remain closely connected to the project and the location and will continue to be available as a point of contact,” adds Roland Stanze, Chief Operating Officer of PNE AG.

The wind farm consists of five Nordex N163 turbines, each with a capacity of 6.8 MW. The expected annual electricity production of the Bebensee wind farm will be sufficient to supply around 33,000 households with green electricity for one year. Power purchase is secured through an EEG feed-in tariff with a term of 20 years.

Just four months ago, Encavis acquired the Sundern-Allendorf wind farm (also 34 MW) from PNE, where energy consult GmbH also took over technical and commercial management.
