Encavis AG acquires a 34 MW wind farm from PNE AG in North Rhine-Westphalia

Encavis AG continues its growth in Germany with the acquisition of a 34-megawatt wind project in Sundern-Allendorf, sold by PNE AG and secured by a twenty-year feed-in tariff.

Share:

Encavis AG, the Hamburg-based operator, has confirmed the acquisition of a wind farm under development in the Sauerland region, in Sundern-Allendorf, from PNE AG. This project, with a planned total capacity of 34 megawatts (MW), is located approximately fifty kilometres southeast of Dortmund. Commercial commissioning is expected during the first half of 2026.

Asset transfer and project securitisation

The transaction is part of an ongoing trend of asset transfers between developers and independent power producers. The project comprises five Nordex N163 turbines, each with a capacity of 6.8 MW. The expected annual production reaches approximately 92 gigawatt-hours (GWh), whose value is secured by a twenty-year guaranteed feed-in tariff under the German Renewable Energy Sources Act (Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz, EEG). This mechanism provides revenue predictability, a key criterion for institutional sector players.

According to the management of Encavis AG, the integration of the Sundern-Allendorf wind farm is in line with the group’s wind portfolio expansion strategy. Over the past ten months, the company has strengthened its wind portfolio in Germany by nearly 160 MW, raising the share of wind to around 45% of its total capacity in the country. This development enables a better balance between wind and solar within the group.

German market dynamics and industrial outlook

PNE AG contributed its expertise in the planning, financing and construction of the project, enabling a turnkey delivery to Encavis AG. This transaction reflects the trend towards the specialisation of players, with some focusing on development and asset disposal, and others on long-term operation.

The use of turbines with high unit capacity, adapted to local wind conditions, aims to maximise site productivity. The project as a whole benefits from regulatory stability through the twenty-year feed-in tariff, an attractive element for investors and operators seeking to secure financial flows in the German renewable energy sector.

The Sundern-Allendorf project will contribute to renewable electricity supply in North Rhine-Westphalia. The integration of new assets of this kind into the German market reflects the dynamism of transactions and the structuring of asset portfolios by major operators.
