Roland Stanze, PNE's COO, praised the collaborative approach with local landowners and authorities, underscoring the importance of community cooperation.
Qualitas Energy Deutschland's Head of Investments, Johannes Overbeck, emphasized the company's commitment to Germany's energy transition. Focused on sustainable and economically viable projects, Qualitas Energy aims to bring the Papenrode wind farm to successful operation, supporting its renewable expansion and sustainable energy goals in Germany.
