Solar and wind industries regard joint auction as a failure
The German Solar Association (BSW) and the German Wind Energy Association (BWE) 鈥渞egard the first joint auction [for onshore wind and solar power] as a failure,鈥� and call for separate auctions to be held in the future, the two organisations write in a joint press release. The two technologies should not be 鈥渆ntangled in an aimless cost competition,鈥� they write. The federal government has set itself an ambitious renewable energies expansion target for 2030, said BWE president Hermann Albers. 鈥淭his can only be reached if both wind energy and solar energy are significantly expanded immediately,鈥� he said. Pitting 鈥渢he two important pillars of our future energy system鈥� against each other was inefficient and not goal-oriented, he said.
