Onshore wind prices continue to drop in German auction
The average support rate for all successful bidders in Germany鈥檚 second onshore wind power auction was 4.28 eurocent per kilowatt hour (ct/kWh). 鈥淭he average support rate decreased by more than a cent per kilowatt hour, compared to the first round,鈥� said BNetzA President Jochen Homann in the press release. Ninety percent of all successful bids are citizens鈥� energy projects, writes the Federal Network Agency (BNetzA) in a press release. Sixty-seven of the 281 bids entered were successful, covering a total capacity of 1,013 MW, and a high number of these came from eastern Germany. Most of the successful citizens鈥� energy projects can be attributed to a single project developer, writes BNetzA.
