Late February, Germany’s Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur) launched the first mixed round of tenders for large-scale solar and wind turbines on land. In the round, the German government hopes to assign around 200 MW of combined wind and solar power. Bids can be submitted until April 3. The ceiling price for both technologies was set at €0.0884/kWh, according to the agency. It is the first time that two renewable technologies will directly compete in tenders in Germany.
The technology-neutral auctions are being implemented upon request of the European Commission, which is requiring member states to introduce them.
