PNE Wind and VPC to create renewable 'energy islands'
German wind farm developer PNE Wind has partnered with local engineering firm VPC to create grid-independent renewable energy solutions for residential and commercial customers, called "energy islands". As well as supplying wind energy, PNE will be in charge of the approval, financing and participation models, while VPC will be responsible for the PV, biodiesel, storage and grid connection, and overall operation of the systems.
German wind farms developer PNE Wind AG (ETR:PNE3) has partnered with local engineering firm VPC GmbH to work on grid-independent and self-sustained renewable energy supply solutions for public and commercial use.

This future-oriented cooperation will be establishing the so-called "Energy Islands" both in Germany and abroad, according to an announcement on Friday.

The plan is to combine various renewable energy sources, including wind and solar photovoltaics (PV), with storage technologies or generators powered by biofuels. Advantages include cost-effective energy supply, long-term price stability and independent generation.

PNE Wind will be in charge of the approval, financing and participation models, as well as the construction and operation of wind farms. On the other hand, its partner will be responsible for the PV, biodiesel, storage and grid connection, as well as project management and operation of the overall system.

The move is part of PNE Wind’s strategy to become a "Clean Energy Solution Provider". In mid-November, the company said it wants to expand the range of services it offers, enter new markets and add solar, storage and other green technologies to its portfolio.
