威力彩玩法
Solar power projects聽聽secured the entire volume of capacity available in the fourth joint auction for new solar and onshore wind, as no onshore bids were submitted, the German Federal Network Agency (BNetzA) said聽. Successful bids in the 鈥渟ignificantly oversubscribed鈥 auction ranged from 4.88 to 5.74 cents per kilowatt hour (ct/kWh), said the BNetzA. At 5.4 ct/kWh, the average successful bid was above the last exclusively solar auction (4.9 ct/kWh), which 鈥渟hows that the volumes tendered leave room for bids with different cost structures,鈥 wrote the agency.
The outcome mirrors that of the last joint auctions聽in April 2019听补苍诲听November 2018, after which the solar power lobby group聽BSW聽Solar and the wind power lobby group聽BWE聽had called on the government to end the 鈥artificial competition鈥 between the two technologies. 鈥淭he energy transition needs solar and wind power alike鈥 and these should complement each other to provide the greatest benefit for the energy system, the renewable power groups said. Until now, no wind power bid has been successful in all four bi-annual joint auctions.
