The internationally operating German wind power company PNE Group has achieved further success in Poland with two new wind energy projects.
Under the terms of the contract, wind power turbines with a nominal capacity of total 174 MW will be constructed by PNE at the 'Barwice' (42 MW) and 'Jasna' (132 MW) wind farms.
Both projects are located in windy regions in northern Poland and have been developed by subsidiary WKN. Construction of the wind farms is scheduled to begin in the first half of 2019. 14 wind power turbines will be erected at the Barwice wind farm. 39 turbines are planned for the Jasna wind farm. Completion and start of operation are scheduled for 2019 and 2020.
Further wind farm projects in Poland are currently being planned by the PNE Group and prepared for future tenders. The PNE subsidiary WKN has been active in project development in Poland since 2008 by the Polish-German cooperation Sevivon based in Koschalin and Gdansk.
Markus Lesser, CEO of PNE AG, said: “This is a great success for us. Our intensive and multi-year project development in Poland is now paying off. The internationalisation of our core business has taken another major step forward. In addition to our successful developments in France, Sweden and the USA, the market for wind energy in Poland is now also developing extremely well for us.”
