PNE WIND AG receives label as a partner for "Fair Wind Energy"

Cuxhaven, April 19, 2016 - PNE WIND AG received the label "Fair Wind
Energy" from the wind energy service unit of Thüringer Energie- und
Greentech-Agentur (ThEGA). The label is awarded to companies which
voluntarily comply with the guidelines for the fair expansion of wind
energy in Thuringia, developed by the Thuringian State Government.

The guidelines include topics such as early involvement of all stakeholders
in the environment of a planned wind farm during the entire planning phase
as well as transparent handling of project-related information by project
planners on site. Companies which receive the "Fair Wind Energy" label
shall also ensure fair participation of all parties concerned and local
residents, including landowners who have no direct benefits, and shall
develop financial investment opportunities for communities, citizens and
enterprises.

Staff at the PNE WIND Group have been planning wind farms since 1990. The
goal is always to realise the projects in close collaboration with the
local authorities, landowners and citizens. The highest standards in terms
of quality, transparency and professionality apply.

Markus Lesser, Chief Operating Officer of PNE WIND AG: "We are very pleased
to receive this award, since it reflects our mission of ecological
responsibility and economic success. Wind energy not only protects the
climate, it also offers numerous benefits to the regions in which wind
farms are constructed."
