en.Wedoany.com Reported - German PNE Group announced the sale of the "Romescamps" wind farm in northern France, a project ready for immediate construction. Located in the Hauts-de-France region, the wind farm consists of three wind turbines with a total installed capacity of 10.8 MW. The project originated from the 10th onshore wind tender in France and was jointly awarded to PNE and the "Chéry" wind farm. After obtaining all permits and meeting construction readiness conditions, PNE France optimized the hub height of the three wind turbines to leverage better wind conditions and increase expected power generation.
Under the project development agreement, PNE France will continue to support the buyer through specific development phases after the transaction closes. The buyer in this transaction is JP Energie Environnement (JPEE), headquartered near Caen, a family-owned renewable energy producer established in 2004, with operations covering the development, financing, construction, and operation of wind and solar power plants. Since 2023, the state-owned development bank Banque des Territoires has held a 34% stake in JPEE. PNE was advised by Alaïa Advisory in this transaction.
This sale marks the second collaboration between PNE and JPEE. Previously, on October 23, 2025, PNE sold the 14.4 MW "Clermont-en-Argonne" wind farm in the Grand Est region to JPEE. Roland Stanze, Chief Operating Officer of PNE AG, stated that this transaction once again confirms the high quality of PNE's project development activities in France and reflects the company's strategy of focusing on core markets and selectively developing high-quality projects.
This sale is part of a series of similar transactions by PNE in 2026, following the sale of the 43.2 MW "Bokel" wind farm in Germany, a 72 MW wind project in Poland, and an approximately 40 MW solar project. France remains one of PNE's core markets, and according to the company, there are additional projects in advanced development and sales stages locally.
In the French renewable energy market, as of the end of December 2025, French transmission system operator RTE reported that the country's wind power installed capacity stood at approximately 25,800 MW (about 23,900 MW onshore and about 1,900 MW offshore), while solar installed capacity was approximately 30,400 MW. Solar installed capacity surpassed hydropower capacity for the first time, which stood at about 25,700 MW. Bioenergy installed capacity was approximately 2,300 MW. According to data from the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E), wind power generation in France in 2025 was approximately 48.5 TWh, up 6.8% from 45.4 TWh in 2024; solar power generation reached 30.2 TWh, a 30.7% increase from 23.1 TWh the previous year. The strong growth in solar installations has already required nuclear power plants to reduce output and flexibly adjust generation during periods of high solar feed-in.
