E.ON board member demands changes for onshore wind power auctions
German utility E.ON鈥� chief operating officer for grids and renewable energies, Leonhard Birnbaum, demands a change to the country鈥檚 onshore wind power auctions to ensure that professional wind power project developers cannot benefit from advantages given to citizens鈥� energy projects, Dow Jones Newswires reports. In Germany鈥檚 first wind power auction in May, citizens鈥� initiatives appeared to secure the lion鈥檚 share of projects, but evidence now suggests many of these bids 鈥渋n reality were made by professional project developers,鈥� the article says. Birnbaum seconded a call by turbine manufacturer Enercon for all bidders, regardless of their commercial status, to be required to submit the so-called immission law license (BImschG) to take part in auctions.
