PNE Group has been awarded a contract for the "Oinville-Saint-Liphard" wind farm in France, a project comprising four wind turbines with a total capacity of 22 MW. The company succeeded in a highly competitive tender round, one of eleven winning developers among 39 awarded projects representing a total capacity of 808 MW. The tender, the eleventh under France's PPE2 programme, saw 144 bids with an aggregate capacity of 2.38 GW.
The project is located in the Centre-Val de Loire region. Roland Stanze, Chief Operating Officer of PNE AG, stated: "We are very pleased that we were able to prevail in a highly competitive tender. This once again demonstrates the excellent work being done by our French team on the ground. Following the sale of the ‘Romescamps’ wind farm, this is the next success for us within just a few days in one of our most important core markets and once again confirms our strategy."
The win comes after a nearly one-year pause in tenders following July 2025, when PNE France secured the "Chery" and "Romescamps" projects. The French government relaunched tenders in early April 2026, shortly after publishing the multiannual energy plan PPE3. The timing aligned perfectly as the "Oinville-Saint-Liphard" wind farm received approval in May, just in time for the tender submission. The approval process took only 15 months.
This milestone underscores the importance of France as a core market for the PNE Group, which is listed on the SDAX and has over 30 years of experience in onshore wind farm project development. The group focuses on developing wind energy and photovoltaic projects worldwide, as well as power generation with its own wind farms. Its portfolio covers all project planning phases, from site investigation and permit procedures to financing, construction, operation, and repowering. As a Clean Energy Solutions Provider, PNE Group also offers services for the entire life cycle of wind farms and photovoltaic plants, along with battery storage solutions for more efficient use of renewable energies.
