PNE launches PPA tender for industrial companies in Germany

Cuxhaven – PNE starts a new chapter in the sale of green electricity from its own plants. For the first time, the Cuxhaven-based energy company is bidding for large quantities of electricity for industrial customers. Companies wanting to purchase green electricity in Germany and interested in a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) are invited to submit price proposals. More than 300 gigawatt hours per year (GWh/a) in five portfolios in different sizes from 32 to 124 GWh/a. From 2026, green electricity will be generated by PNE wind farms and photovoltaic plants, including both existing and new construction projects.

“This step strengthens our position as a reliable partner for green electricity procurement for the industry in Germany,” says Markus Lesser, CEO of PNE AG. “Until now, it has been customary for electricity customers to put a PPA request on the market and obtain offers. We turn this process around and offer the industry a variety of different PPA options from which they can determine the right product for themselves. With PNE, PPAs thus guarantee reliable power supply, long-term price security and support for sustainability goals, at a scale suitable for industrial customers.“

Roland Stanze, Head of Commercial Solutions at PNE AG, adds: “At the same time, we expect to address and expand our industrial network more precisely. It is a win-win situation for the electricity customers and for PNE, and an important building block for the strategic expansion of our IPP activities.”

The tendering process will start in June and should be completed by October at the latest. The PPA terms and prices will be determined during the tendering process. PNE is supported by the Berlin energy market consultancy Enervis. As an established consulting firm, the company has excellent experience in the field of PPAs and tendering processes in the German energy market.
