Germany Wind Energy, Or Lack Thereof -- A Random Update -- August 3, 2020

From a reader, thank you.

Germany: solar sweeps the board again in renewables acution, May 20, 2020.

Link here.

Not one wind power project was submitted to the German network authority for the April round of a national clean energy procurement program. Almost 204 MW of solar generation capacity was allocated across 30 solar projects with an average final electricity price of €0.053/kWh. 

Wind developers appear to have thrown in the towel in Germany with federal network agency the Bundesnetzagentur revealing it received no wind project bids for last month’s national solar and wind power energy auction, which procured 203.7 MW of solar capacity across 30 projects. 

Note: Germany gets 13% capacity factor from solar. 200 MW x 0.13 =26 MW = < 1 MW/ solar installation. 

There is not one chance in a million that Germany will meet its 2030 renewable goals despite $billions poured down this rat hole during their "virus stimulus".

Atmospheric CO2: pending. Should be released on/about August 6, 2020.
