PNE plans €100m bond issue and acquisition

A PNE-developed wind farm

German developer PNE Wind plans to raise €100m ($130m) through a bond issue as it closes in on a possible acquisition.

Cuxhaven-based PNE says the fundraising, planned for the first half of the year, is in connection with exclusive talks to acquire more than 50% of the shares in “a company primarily active in the development of onshore wind farms in Germany and abroad”.

To buy 100% of the target company would cost €100m, says PNE, which is currently carrying out due diligence.

Other uses for the proceeds of the bond issue could include the provision of interim finance for its German wind pipeline, which currently includes about 180MW of projects expected to go ahead soon.
