With the expansion of wind energy, the prospects will be somewhat better. The Federal Network Agency announced on Thursday in Bonn that 166 wind energy bids with a total output of 1494 megawatts had been awarded in the latest round of tenders for onshore systems. The subsidized electricity capacities are to be created primarily in Schleswig-Holstein (401 megawatts), North Rhine-Westphalia (315 megawatts) and Lower Saxony (265 megawatts).
Bonn - The special thing about this: The tendering round was oversubscribed, there had been 210 bids for 1824 megawatts.
The fact that demand exceeds supply cannot be taken for granted in the long-standing wind turbine expansion: Since 2018, only 5 out of 20 tendering rounds have been oversubscribed, most recently in December 2020. Most of the time, the demand was among those interested whose projects were already far enough for one Participation in a tender, so it was low.

Merger of the Landesbausparkassen West and North
Building society contracts are intended to enable people to have their own four walls at some point or to renovate them at great expense.
But the business model is under pressure in times of zero interest rates.
Two building societies now want to join forces.
Merger of the Landesbausparkassen West and North
The fact that far fewer wind turbine projects were allowed to be implemented in recent years than was possible was mainly due to insufficient building permits and a lack of space.
The recently published figures from the September tendering round, in which the operators are supposed to receive between 5.2 and 5.92 cents per kilowatt hour, are now a ray of hope - they could be a sign that the onshore expansion is picking up some speed.
Whether this is really the case or whether the latest figures are just a flash in the pan will only be clarified with the tendering rounds in the coming months.
