Repowering Project: PNE Sells Wind Farm to Qualitas Energy - Electricity Production Quintupled
Cuxhaven, Germany - PNE AG has sold a repowering wind farm to Qualitas Energy Deutschland GmbH. The wind farm project with nine wind turbines and a capacity of 59.4 MW, which is currently under construction, is located in the municipalities of Groß Twülpstedt and Bahrdorf in Lower Saxony. Commissioning is planned for the second quarter of 2025.
Johannes Overbeck, Head of Investments at Qualitas Energy Deutschland GmbH, emphasizes the importance of the project and the company's generally ambitious investment goals to accelerate the energy transition in Germany.
Planning for the Papenrode wind farm began in 2016. First, the existing wind farm with 15 old turbines had to be dismantled before construction of the new wind turbines could begin. Although the new wind farm consists of significantly fewer wind turbines, electricity production will increase fivefold. The wind farm is therefore making a major contribution to the energy transition and climate protection.
