companies/nnual report
Cuxhaven (euro adhoc) - March 30, 2009 - The wind farm developer Plambeck Neue Energien AG has taken the wind farm Buchholz into operation. In total, 18 wind-energy systems of the Vestas V90 type were installed. The systems have a nominal output of 2 MW each, leading to a total output of the wind farm of 36 MW. The construction phase lasted only seven months. According to project manager Jens Peters the project was thus completed in extremely short time given the scope of the wind farm.
The wind-energy systems in Buchholz can cover the annual energy requirements of more than 20,000 private households. The wind farm contributes significantly to environmental protection since its eco-friendly power production avoids 43,000 tons of carbon dioxide and other pollutants.
Already back in February 2009 the company had announced the sale of the wind farm together with the projects Schwienau II and Alt Zeschdorf to EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG. The deal includes a total nominal output of 52 MW. In addition to the sale, Plambeck Neue Energien AG will also be in charge of the technical and commercial operational management for the next ten years.
Martin Billhardt, CEO of Plambeck Neue Energien, is delighted about the commissioning of the wind farm Buchholz: "We were able to complete the construction of the plant exceptionally fast, especially when the size of the project is taken into consideration. This underscores our long-time experience in the field of wind farm projecting and was surely one of the reasons why we were able to gain EnBW as our new customer."
The operative success of Plambeck Neue Energien AG is also reflected in the financial results for fiscal year 2008, when the company achieved its best EBIT in corporate history. A comprehensive overview about latest developments at Plambeck Neue Energien AG is provided by the annual report 2008, which is available on www.pne.de as of today.
