93 percent of successful bids from citizens' energy cooperatives in first onshore auction
鈥淐itizens' energy is the big winner鈥� of Germany鈥檚 first round of onshore wind power auctions, said Rainer Baake, state secretary in the economy ministry (BMWi), in a press release on the results. 93 percent of all successful bids for the auctioned 807 megawatts came from citizens' energy cooperatives, which will receive a remuneration of 5.78 or 5.58 cents per kilowatt hour (ct/kWh), depending on the region, said the Federal Network Agency (BNetzA) in a press release. The average support rate for all successful bidders was 5.71 kWh. With 70 successful bids out of a total of 256, the auction had a 鈥減leasantly high competition level,鈥� BNetzA president Jochen Homann said. Only 5 percent of all bids had to be rejected due to formal errors, it added, saying that 鈥渂idders understood the procedure.鈥�
