RENEWABLES FOR GERMANY 1.8 GW
E - 31 Oct 2022 - Germany’s Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur) has launched three tenders which intend to award a total of 1,789 MW of solar and onshore wind capacity, as well as innovation projects. The application deadline for the three tenders is set for 1 December 2022.
In the first tender, the Bundesnetzagentur is seeking proposals for 1,190 MW of onshore wind. The competition is open to projects that have received permits by 3 November 2022. Bids in this round must not exceed €6c/kWh.
The second tender plans to award 202.3 MW of solar capacity that will be installed on buildings and noise barriers. The maximum value of the projects was set at around €9c/kWh. In the third tender Germany seeks innovation proposals with a combined capacity of 397.2 MW and a price cap of about €7c/kWh. The projects eligible to compete in this round are broad: wind, solar, energy storage, biomass, geothermal energy and hydropower projects are welcome.
In its latest renewable energy tender in early October 2022, Germany only allocated 772 MW (58%) of the 1,320 MW of onshore wind projects it intended to award, with prices ranging from €5.76c/kWh to €5.88c/kWh. In its previous tender Germany also only allocated 931 MW of the 1,320 MW of onshore wind projects it intended to award.

"If we continue to meet our savings target of at least 20% in Germany, if three LNG terminals start operating at the beginning of next year at the latest, and if the expected winter-related decline in imports and the rise in currently low exports remain moderate, then we can get through the winter without a national gas emergency," he said in a statement.
