Onshore Wind energy

Global project planning expertise for onshore wind energy

Globally we perform the role of partner at your side during the entire value chain of a wind farm. This provides an optimal solution in the interest of all parties involved such as investors, lenders, landowners, municipalities and service providers. We can rely on extensive experience, a large network in many markets and in-depth knowledge of the different stages of project realisation.

In South Africa, our main wind development capabilities include but are not limited to analysing site conditions, securing the best possible project sites, preparing wind measurements and yield forecasts and providing the necessary expert energy assessment reports. Furthermore, we obtain all necessary environmental and planning permits, and ensure that the most viable grid connection options are investigated and secured. 

We consistently focus on long-term strategies, cooperation with investment partners, local service providers and cooperative relationships. With the highest quality expectations and many years of expertise, we realise high-quality projects together with our partners.

PNE Group in figures

Thanks to our extensive experience in national and international projects within the Group, we are particularly familiar with the different approval procedures in various countries and can therefore develop viable solutions for these.

The basis for a successful project

Site analysis and land securing

One of the most important factors for the success of a wind farm is the choice of location. Only when the technical inspection of a location delivers positive results in every respect, do we start the development planning of a project. We analyse the condition of a site, prepare wind measurements and yield forecasts, provide expert opinions on wind, grid connection options, visual impact, noise emissions in addition to commissioning detailed bird and bat monitoring studies, environmental impact assessments and other regulatory approval processes. 

Landowners, residents and the local authorities often have different interests and requirements. We work together with all parties involved to find the optimum solution and support the project partners and stakeholders on site during the development planning process.
