The German government’s latest attempt to attract investment in onshore wind farms fell flat, according to the results of tenders for renewables published on Friday (30 April), marking another episode in a series of undersubscribed tenders for wind power. The Federal Network Agency published tenders for onshore wind, solar, biomass, and innovative renewable technologies on 1 February this year, but less than half of the tendered wind capacity was successfully bid on. However, it is a very different story for solar power. The results show the tender was popular with developers, attracting bids totalling more than 1,500 MW, of which the regulator selected 620 MW of projects.
