The federal economy ministry (BMWi) is working on a concept for technology-independent renewables support auctions that would have wind turbines competing against solar PV facilities, writes Stefan Schultz for Spiegel Online. In a pilot project from 2018 until 2020, two joint auctions per year will determine the financial support for a total capacity of 400 megawatts annually, according to a paper seen by Spiegel Online. Separate tenders for wind and solar will continue for the largest part of renewables expansion and it is not yet decided whether the technology-independent auctions will continue after 2020, according to the paper. The ministry aims to comply with EU regulations with the proposal.
