The German Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur) has announced the results of its latest tender for onshore wind, the second of 2024. The agency tendered a quantity of 2,795 MW, and 197 bids were submitted for a bid volume of 2,485 MW. 189 bids were eventually accepted, totalling a capacity of 2,379 MW. The tender was under-subscribed, but similar volumes had not been seen since bidding rounds in 2017.
The values determined in the bidding price procedure stood between €7.20c/kWh and €7.35c/kWh. The average value stood at €7.33c/kWh, slightly below the maximum value (€7.35c/kWh). The largest volumes were awarded for sites in North Rhine-Westphalia (727 MW, 68 awards), Lower Saxony (430 MW, 26 awards) and Schleswig-Holstein (318 MW, 17 awards).
In its previous tender (March 2024) the Federal Network Agency awarded 1,836 MW of onshore wind across 129 bids. Previously, Germany awarded a total of 6,377 MW of onshore wind in 2023, almost twice the amount that was awarded in 2022 (3,225 MW).
