The new General Manager, André De Rosa, has been working for PNE WIND

power marketing as well as project management. In addition, he has
sound knowledge of sales and the real estate sector gained in
previous positions. He has studied financial management in the USA.

PNE WIND USA develops wind farm projects, particularly in the Midwest

network of contacts to companies and authorities active in the wind
energy sector.

Currently, PNE WIND USA is developing wind farm projects, in which up
