PNE WIND AG: Calau II D wind farm commissioned and handed over to Allianz
Cuxhaven, September 30, 2014 - The wind farm developer, PNE WIND AG has
completed and handed over the Calau II D wind farm (Brandenburg) to the
buyer of the project Allianz. The wind farm with five wind turbines and
15.4 MW of capacity has the same nominal output of the Calau II C wind farm
which was also completed and sold to Allianz earlier this year. PNE WIND AG
developed the wind farm projects and continues to be responsible for the
technical and commercial management of the wind farms. The substation and
the Calau II wind farm with15 wind turbines and approx. 46 MW of total
nominal capacity was constructed in three construction phases over a 12
month period.

The Calau II wind farms are helping to make this year a record year for the
implementation of new wind farm projects in Germany. So far in 2014, PNE
WIND AG has been constructing 186 MW of wind farms, which are either
already commissioned or are currently under construction. These projects
represent an investment volume of approx. EUR 325 million. For a further
three projects 10 wind turbines with 28.6 MW of nominal capacity have
already been ordered and preparations to begin construction are under way.
Construction is scheduled to begin shortly.

The Calau II wind farm is located in a forested area and to make use of the
site's full potential, PNE WIND AG installed the Vestas V112 3.0 MW turbine
with a particularly high hub height of 140 meters. With the commissioning
of the Calau II D wind farm, the five turbines are able to produce
environmentally friendly energy from the wind sufficient to cover the
annual electricity needs of approx. 13,000 four-person households.

Having completed the Calau II project in a forested area, PNE WIND AG has
gained firsthand knowledge in working with high hub heights as well as
activities designed to minimize impacts on the surrounding wooded areas.
This knowledge can be applied to the Sontra und Chransdorf projects which
are also being constructed in forested areas.

Allianz has already acquired several wind farm projects in Germany and
abroad from WKN AG. This cooperation has now been continued successfully
within the PNE WIND Group.

Martin Billhardt Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of PNE WIND AG comments "The
continuation of the cooperation with Allianz is very pleasing and this
satisfaction can also be extended to all who were responsible for the
