The business model of PNE Wind AG includes planning, building, financing, operating and selling of wind farms. The company is active in Germany as well as in countries such as Hungary, France, Turkey and USA.

The Company received the permission for the first own offshore project "Borkum Reef Ground" approximately four years after examination by the competent Bundesamt für Seeschifffahrt und Hydrographie (Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency) in February 2004. In August 2006 the construction of the offshore wind farm "Gode Wind I" was permitted. The permission for the offshore wind farm "Gode Wind II" was granted in July 2009. Thus, the company may set up approximately 160 wind turbines in the North Sea with a total capacity of up to 637 MW. Another offshore wind farm "Gode Wind III" is in development and has been sold along with the wind farm Gode Wind I-II to the Danish energy company DONG Energy.

Until December 2010 PNE Wind had built 97 onshore wind farms with 563 wind turbines and a total capacity of 804 MW. 299 wind turbines with a total capacity of 462 MW and 2 biogas plants with a total of 1 MW were in the operational management.
