Germany awarded a record 4.1 GW support contracts in its last onshore wind auction this year, further proving that its licensing reforms are having an effect. The auction was oversubscribed, receiving a total of 6.1 GW in applications. This is a welcome change compared to recent European auctions, which often experienced undersubscription due to licensing and supply chain constraints. Projects typically require planning permission to participate in tenders. In 2023, the bidding and awarding level for onshore wind power capacity by German developers was nearly consistent at 6.4 GW. Companies that received subsidy contracts include RWE, ABO Wind, and Eurowind Energy. For the 2 GW projects that did not win auction contracts but are seeking stable revenue sources, there are other pathways to enter the market. Germany is the second-largest corporate Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) market in Europe so far in 2024, with announced capacity of 1.85 GW.
