Encavis AG, the Hamburg-based wind and solar park operator has acquired a wind farm project in Sundern-Allendorf in Germany’s Sauerland region from PNE AG. The project, with a planned total capacity of 34 megawatts (MW), is located approximately 50 kilometers southeast of Dortmund and is scheduled to go into operation in the first half of 2026.

“We are pleased to hand over this high-quality project to Encavis as a turnkey solution,” said Roland Stanze, Chief Operating Officer of PNE AG. “The wind farm is now in the hands of a company that shares our strong commitment to expanding renewable energy. We bring decades of expertise to this project, with core competencies in the planning, development, financing, and construction of premium wind farms.”

Mario Schirru, CEO of Encavis AG, added: “The acquisition of the Sundern-Allendorf wind farm is a consistent step in executing our growth strategy and further strengthening our wind energy portfolio. Over the past ten months alone, we have expanded our wind portfolio in Germany by approximately 160 MW — a significant move toward achieving a balanced mix of wind and solar energy. Wind farms (in operation and under construction) now account for around 45% of our total generation capacity in Germany.

The project’s high quality and PNE’s long-standing development experience underscore the value of our collaboration. We look forward to continuing this partnership and jointly advancing the expansion of renewable energy.”

The wind farm will comprise five Nordex N163 turbines, each with a capacity of 6.8 MW. The expected annual electricity production is approximately 92 GWh. Power offtake is secured through a 20-year feed-in tariff under the German Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG).
