PNE AG, Cuxhaven!

The Chairman of the Supervisory Board Per Hornung Pedersen comments: "We are very pleased that we have found an ideal addition to the Management Board from our own ranks in Mr Stanze.

We see a high level of dynamic in the markets and have a large number of projects in development and realisation. With our large pipeline of wind and PV projects, we are very well positioned to benefit from the resulting opportunities. We want to capitalise on these growth opportunities.” Per Hornung Pedersen, born in 1953, is an independent management consultant in the field of renewable energies and has many years of international experience in the wind industry.
