PNE WIND AG cooperates with VPC in developing grid-independent energy supply solutions

Cuxhaven (renewablepress) - PNE WIND AG cooperates with VPC GmbH, a provider of engineering services for energy generation and distribution facilities, in developing grid-independent and self-sustained energy supply solutions for public and commercial use. Such "Energy Islands" can be individually planned, implemented and operated according to requirements and location, and are very interesting not only for Germany but also for foreign countries. Cost-effective energy supply, long-term price stability and independent generation are combined.

In Germany, grid-independent energy supply can be sensible and attractive for major enterprises or industrial parks as well as for municipal utilities and municipalities. In foreign countries, the public supply of electricity and heat can be ensured by such projects.

By combining various renewable energies such as photovoltaics and wind energy with storage technologies or generators powered by biofuels, it is possible to ensure an environmentally friendly energy supply that is both sustainable and cheaper than with a grid connection.

PNE WIND and VPC contribute their specific strengths to the cooperation. While PNE WIND will be responsible for the approval, financing, and participation models as well as the construction and operation of wind components, VPC will take care of the areas of photovoltaics, biodiesel, storage, grid and grid connection as well as project management and operation of the overall system.

Markus Lesser, CEO of PNE WIND AG: "With this future-oriented cooperation, we are focusing on the German market as well as on international projects. The partners complement each other perfectly. As part of PNE's new strategic direction, this is a first step towards becoming a provider of solutions for clean energy - the "Clean Energy Solution Provider."

Dr.-Ing. Ralf Gilgen, CEO of VPC GmbH comments: “With the "Energy Islands" concept, we are able to ensure a self-sufficient, green power supply in the future, combined with lower energy costs and completely independent of problems regarding grid stability.”
