کشور آلمان قصد دارد تا ظرفیت نیروگاههای تجدیدپذیر خود را تا سال ۲۰۲۱ به میزان ۸ گیگاوات افزایش دهد. از این مقدار، ۴ گیگاوات به احداث نیروگاههای بادی و ۴ گیگاوات دیگر به نیروگاه خورشیدی اختصاص داده شده است. همچنین پیشبینی میشود که تا انتهای سال جاری ۳۸ درصد از برق مصرفی کشور آلمان توسط منابع تجدیدپذیر پوشش داده شود.
Germany’s governing coalition recently agreed to long-promised supplemental tenders that will add a total of 8 gigawatts of onshore wind and solar power to the grid over the next three years.
In the coalition treaty agreed to by Chancellor Angela Merkel’s Union alliance and the Social Democratic Party early in 2018, the governing partners pledged to add 4 gigawatts of onshore wind and 4 gigawatts of solar via “special auctions.” Generating capacity added under the auctions is on top of planned expansions under Germany’s amended Renewable Energy Act, which had capped annual onshore wind additions at 2.8 gigawatts in 2019 and 2.9 gigawatts in 2020.
The German wind energy industry, among others, had pushed for the supplementary tenders out of concern that the country’s onshore wind sector faces a potential gigawatt-scale “decommissioning wave” as 20-year feed-in tariff contracts expire for existing wind projects beginning in 2020.
The governing parties responded. Under an agreement reached by Germany’s Cabinet in early November, the federal government will hold auctions to procure 1 gigawatt each for onshore wind and solar in 2019, increasing to 1.4 gigawatt for each in 2020 and 1.6 gigawatt for each in 2021.
