The PNE Group announced it has been selected as one of the winning developers in France's latest tender for onshore wind energy, securing the "Oinville-Saint-Liphard" project. The wind farm, located in the Centre-Val de Loire region, will comprise four wind turbines with a total capacity of 22 megawatts (MW). The tender, the eleventh under the PPE2 programme, was highly competitive, with 144 bids totaling 2.38 gigawatts (GW) vying for 39 awarded projects representing 808 MW. PNE France was one of only eleven successful developers.
Roland Stanze, Chief Operating Officer of PNE AG, expressed satisfaction with the outcome, stating, "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." Stanze noted that this success follows closely on the heels of the sale of the "Romescamps" wind farm, marking the second achievement for the company within days in one of its most important core markets and confirming its strategic direction.
The tender process resumed after a nearly one-year pause following the July 2025 round, in which PNE France secured the "Chery" and "Romescamps" projects. The French government announced the relaunch in early April 2026, shortly after publishing the multiannual energy plan PPE3. The timing proved fortuitous for PNE, as the "Oinville-Saint-Liphard" project received its permit in May, just in time for submission. Remarkably, the approval was granted in only 15 months, highlighting efficient regulatory processes.
This win 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 as a project developer in onshore wind energy. The company operates internationally as a Clean Energy Solutions Provider, covering all phases from site investigation and permitting to construction, operation, and repowering. Its portfolio also includes photovoltaic projects, battery storage solutions, and services for the entire life cycle of renewable energy plants.
